Example pairs · rendered design references

Diamond stud earring settings: examples we can make

Diamond earrings are made to order on our Bedfordview bench, so there is no tray of finished pairs to photograph. These are rendered examples of standard settings, in the metal of your choice: point at one and say that, with this pair.

These are examples, not a catalogue

We are a working bench, so we can make essentially anything: a design off this page, one of these changed, a piece you have seen elsewhere, a drawing, a photograph, or an heirloom reset into something new. Bring the idea in whatever form you have it and we will tell you what it takes and what it costs, before any work starts.

Message Prodiam on WhatsAppor send it through the contact page

Renders are illustrations of a design, not photographs of a piece in stock. The stones in the pictures are stand-ins; yours is the one you choose, certified, with its own report.

Diamond stud earrings: common questions

How much do diamond stud earrings cost in South Africa?

The two stones set most of the price, then the setting, posts and metal. On 2 September 2026 the sourced matched-pair examples ran from R14 200 for two quarter-carat stones to R146 400 for two one-carat stones, VAT and insured delivery included, before the setting. The setting and posts are quoted as a separate, firm rand figure before any work begins.

How big is a half-carat or one-carat diamond stud?

Studs are sold by the total weight across both ears, so a "one carat pair" is two half-carat stones. A round brilliant of 0.25ct measures about 4.1mm across, 0.50ct about 5.1mm, 0.75ct about 5.8mm and 1.00ct about 6.4mm. Two half-carat stones read as a clear, everyday pair; two one-carat stones are a statement.

Screw backs or push backs?

Push backs (butterflies) are the everyday standard and easy to wear; screw backs need a threaded post and are the secure choice for heavier stones and for anyone who sleeps in their studs. We fit either, and for larger stones we add a wider disc so the earring sits up rather than tipping forward.

Which setting sits lowest and snags least?

A bezel stud, where a smooth rim of metal holds the stone, sits lowest and catches on nothing; a martini (three-claw cone) setting sits low too and shows more of the stone; a four-claw basket sits higher and lets in the most light. The choice is yours against how the pair will be worn.

Do you make single diamond studs for men?

Yes. A single stud is made the same way as a pair, most often a round brilliant between a quarter and one carat in a four-claw, bezel or martini setting with a screw back. Tell us whether you want one or two when you brief us.

The Prodiam promise

The quote is free. So is walking away.

Ask us to quote any stone or ring and you get a firm figure in writing within 24 hours, VAT inclusive, with the trade-offs explained in plain English. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing: no deposit, no account, no follow-up campaign. Worst case, you learned the honest number and bought elsewhere better informed.

We actually want you to compare. Buying well means weighing options; it is how we buy rough at the viewings, and it is how you should buy a diamond. Bring any written quote and we will price it like-for-like, and if we cannot beat it, we will tell you so bluntly. Either way you leave knowing where you stand.

One more thing worth knowing: this site shows a selection of our stock, never the full range. Far more passes across the bench than we ever list, so if the exact stone or design you want is not here, ask us for it. It is usually one message away.
