Why Diamond Studs? Because They Go With Everything.
Simple yet radiant, stud earrings are an everyday classic. Most customers start with 0.5ct to 1.0ct total weight—ideal for daily wear and subtle elegance. But if you’re looking for a bolder sparkle, our 2ct or 3ct pairs are nothing short of dazzling.
✔ Perfect for gifting
✔ Loved for weddings, anniversaries, or milestone moments
✔ Available in both natural and lab-grown diamonds

"I wanted something timeless for my wedding day. I found the perfect 1ct lab-grown studs at Sunshine Diamonds — and I still wear them to every important meeting. They remind me of where I started and how far I’ve come."
— Sophie L., London
