About these Earrings

An appraisal is a document stating the approximate retail replacement value of an item. It is calculated using current market data, which reflects typical retail prices. The appraisal includes the cut, color, clarity, and either carat weight for diamonds or millimeter dimensions for gemstones, and the craftsmanship of the item. Your appraisal ensures that in the case of loss, theft, or damage your insurance company will give you an equal replacement of your item. The more information contained in the appraisal, the better chance you have of receiving the exact replacement for that item. Your insurance agency can rely on this appraisal to calculate a coverage rate for your diamond or piece of fine jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Diamond Lever Back Earrings

Understanding Your Diamond Options

Natural vs. Lab-Created Diamonds

We carry both natural and lab-created diamonds, so you can pick whichever fits your priorities. Natural diamonds formed underground over billions of years. Every stone is one of a kind, with its own character and story. Lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled setting using the same conditions that create natural diamonds. Chemically and visually, they're identical to mined stones.

Both types get graded on the same 4Cs scale (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat), and both sparkle the same way. The decision usually comes down to what matters most to you: the history and rarity of a natural diamond, or the value and traceability of a lab-grown one. Either way, you're getting a real diamond.

  • Natural Diamonds: Formed over billions of years, rare, each stone is unique
  • Lab-Created Diamonds: Same physical properties, traceable origin, better price point
  • Grading: Both graded identically using Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat
  • Bottom Line: Pick based on what matters to you, not what anyone else thinks

What are lever back earrings and why are they popular?

Understanding Lever Back Closures

Lever back earrings have a hinged closure that clicks securely into place behind your earlobe. A curved wire goes through your ear piercing, then a small lever swings up and locks. This makes them one of the most secure earring styles available—perfect if you've ever worried about losing an earring.

  • Secure hinged closure virtually eliminates loss
  • No separate earring back to fumble with or misplace
  • Comfortable for extended wear throughout the day
  • Easy to put on with practice, even with one hand
  • Popular for drop and dangle earring styles
What diamond drop styles work best with lever backs?

Popular Drop Styles

Lever backs pair beautifully with drop and dangle designs because the secure closure lets you wear longer, more valuable pieces with confidence. Single stone drops are classic and elegant, while halo designs add extra sparkle. Journey styles with graduated diamonds have special meaning.

  • Single Stone Drops: One diamond, timeless elegance
  • Halo Drops: Center diamond surrounded by smaller stones
  • Journey Drops: Graduated diamonds representing growth
  • Cluster Drops: Multiple small diamonds grouped together
  • Chandelier: Multiple tiers for special occasions
How do I choose the right drop length for lever back earrings?

Finding Your Ideal Length

Drop length changes the entire look and practicality of your earrings. Short drops under an inch are subtle and work-friendly. Medium drops between 1 and 1.5 inches are versatile for most occasions. Longer drops make a statement but are best saved for special events or when your hair is up.

  • Short (under 1"): Everyday elegance, phone-friendly
  • Medium (1-1.5"): Versatile sweet spot, office to evening
  • Long (1.5"+): Statement pieces, best with upswept hair
  • Longer drops elongate a round face shape
  • Shorter drops balance a longer face
What diamond quality should I choose for lever back earrings?

Quality Recommendations

Because drop earrings frame your face and catch light as they move, quality matters. Prioritize cut grade for maximum sparkle. G-H color looks great without premium pricing. VS2-SI1 clarity is ideal since you won't see tiny inclusions at earring distance. Most importantly, make sure both earrings match perfectly.

  • Cut: Excellent or Very Good for best sparkle
  • Color: G-H offers excellent value near your face
  • Clarity: VS2-SI1 is perfect for earring distance
  • Matching: Both earrings must look identical
  • Mismatched pairs are very noticeable when worn
How do I care for my diamond lever back earrings?

Care and Maintenance Tips

Store your lever backs in a padded box or soft pouch to prevent scratches. Clean them gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Check the lever mechanism periodically to make sure it still clicks securely. If the hinge feels loose or doesn't close properly, take them to a jeweler for adjustment.

  • Store properly to avoid scratching diamonds or bending the lever
  • Put earrings on after applying hairspray and perfume
  • Clean monthly with mild soap and soft brush
  • Check the hinge periodically for smooth operation
  • Remove for sleeping, swimming, and exercising

Buyer's Guide

Diamond Stud Earrings Buying Guide

Diamond studs are one of those pieces that work anywhere—office, wedding, grocery store. If you're going to own one pair of diamond earrings, studs are the smart choice. Here's what to know before you buy.

What Size Should You Get?

Size depends on your budget, your style, and honestly, your earlobes. Studs are measured by total carat weight (both earrings combined), so a "1 carat pair" means each earring is about 0.50 carats.

For everyday wear, 0.50 to 1 carat total looks balanced on most people. Under 0.50 carats reads subtle and delicate. Over 1.5 carats makes more of a statement. If you have smaller earlobes, bigger isn't always better—they can look overwhelming. Try before you buy if you can, or start smaller and upgrade later.

Understanding the 4Cs for Studs

The 4Cs matter differently for earrings than for rings. Here's what actually counts:

Cut: This is where you don't want to compromise. A well-cut diamond sparkles; a poorly cut one looks dull. Always prioritize cut.

Color: G-H color looks white in studs and costs less than D-E-F. Most people can't tell the difference when they're on your ears.

Clarity: SI1-SI2 clarity is usually fine for studs. Inclusions that would bother you in an engagement ring disappear at earring distance.

Carat: Get the size that fits your budget after you've locked in good cut. A smaller, well-cut diamond beats a bigger, dull one every time.

Setting Styles

The setting affects both look and security:

Prong (3 or 4 prong): Shows the most diamond, lets in the most light. Classic choice. Four prongs are more secure than three.

Bezel: A metal rim surrounds the diamond completely. Very secure, modern look, but shows slightly less of the stone.

Martini: Three prongs with a V-shaped basket that sits close to the ear. Sleek and minimal.

Halo: Small diamonds surround the center stone, making it look larger. More sparkle, more presence.

Choosing the Right Metal

White gold and platinum are the most popular for diamond studs—they don't distract from the stone. Platinum costs more but never needs replating. White gold needs rhodium replating every few years to stay bright.

Yellow gold is making a comeback and can warm up the look. Rose gold adds a feminine touch. If you have metal allergies, stick to platinum or 18K gold—they're less likely to cause reactions.

Back Types Matter

The earring back determines comfort and security:

Push backs (butterfly): Standard, easy to use, but can loosen over time.

Screw backs: Most secure option. Takes a bit longer to put on, but they won't fall off.

La Pousette: Also called friction backs. Secure like screw backs but easier to use.

For expensive studs, we recommend screw backs. Losing a diamond stud is painful.

Natural vs. Lab-Created

Both are real diamonds with identical physical properties. Lab-created diamonds typically cost 30-40% less for the same specs. Natural diamonds have been forming underground for billions of years and hold their value differently.

For studs that you'll wear daily, many people choose lab-created to get a larger size within budget. For heirloom pieces, some prefer natural for the rarity factor. There's no wrong answer—just personal preference.
