Cheap realistic looking faux diamond studs

13 replies

I have lost one of my earrings - which im forever doing.

I'd really like cheap (because I will lose them), but realistic-looking cubic zirconia or Diamonique studs. Probably about 0.5 carat in size and something I can leave in all the time (so won't turn my ears green).

Can anyone recommend me some please, thank you!

I wear Diamonique by QVC , lots of diffferent sizes of studs . I usually buy sterling silver , some have platinum plate or rhodium, they also do a gold plate .I have sensitivities to base metal but fine with the silver , no green ears or discolouration. I wear them for weeks sometimes Blush

Only trouble is , last pair I bought came in a shitty little chiffon bag and packed in a plastic envelope rather than a box in padded envelope .
Probably trying to be environmentally friendly but the earrings were ruined , both posts were bent .

I look closely at the videoes to see if there's a box.

Depending on your budget look at moissanite. Very similar to diamonds but lab produced so much more sustainable and ethical. Lox secure earring backs are also a game changer.

M&S and QVC do the best realistic diamonds I think. Plus, the metal they use for the posts don’t tend to tarnish.

Depends on your definition of cheap but something like...

I like qvc too as you try their products, wear shoes out, wash clothing items, including pierced earrings, for 60 days and get your money back in full (except postage each way).

They often do easypays over three to five months. So you can get something half decent, clothes or earrings or whatever, for a tenner or twenty quid a month or whatever.

I use MYJS earrings. I haven't bought studs but I have drop earrings, many, and get compliments when I wear them.

QVC quality is good. I also find Pandora earring backs stay on well.

The only ones that stay in for me are screw type backs.
I think mine came from Amazon, also supplied in a little gauze bag.

I got some from sworkovski , I think they were about £35
( sorry not sure of spelling )

I just bought these for similar reasons! Really lovely and no issues with sensitivity (and I’d have this problem with cheaper options). The Thomas Sabo store on Amazon has lots of lovely similar options.

Diamonique or Tru Diamonds

Solace Jewellery - got recommended them on here last year. Been a game changer for not having a reaction to them. Got a 20% off referral code if you would like.

Solace jewellery is lovely. I have a titanium "diamond" stud with the screw back and it's lovely. It's a single for a helix but I'm going to buy more. No reaction at all and the piercing it's in was a nightmare before and not healing. All healed - I haven't taken the stud out since getting it, highly recommend.
