Excellent cut · Lab-grown diamond
A 0.5ct lab-grown diamond drop earring in solid 14k gold. Long enough to be present. Simple enough to wear every day. The Eclipse Drop is the men's core earring. A single 0.5ct round-brilliant lab-grown diamond set in a bezel pendant, suspended from a 14k gold post by a short linked chain. Total drop length: 12mm. Sold as a single earring. **The stone:** 0.5ct Excellent-cut round brilliant, E color, VVS2 clarity, IGI-certified. The bezel setting holds the stone in a continuous gold rim rather than prongs — cleaner, more modern, and significantly more durable for daily wear than a prong setting on a drop earring. **About drop earrings for men:** A drop earring in men's jewelry is a statement that reads deliberate rather than decorative. Unlike a stud (which sits on the lobe) or a hoop (which circles through the lobe), a drop hangs below the ear — making it visible from multiple angles and distinguishing it from the most common men's jewelry vocabulary. **Drop length:** 12mm from ear to bottom of stone — considered a "short drop." Long enough to be seen, short enough not to swing distractingly during movement. The length works with cropped hair, longer hair, and beards equally well. **Solid 14k gold construction:** The post, the chain link, and the bezel setting are all solid 14k gold — not plated, not vermeil. Solid gold throughout means the piece holds its color, weight, and finish through years of wear. **Single earring:** Priced and shipped as a single earring. Order two for a pair. If ordering two, we'll match the stones for color and cut so the pair appears visually identical. **Styling:** The Eclipse works as a single earring in the left or right ear. Pair with a simple chain and keep other jewelry minimal. The drop is designed to be the single point of focus — adding rings, bracelets, and multiple necklaces competes with it. **Care:** The linked chain between post and pendant is the wear point — clean monthly to prevent dirt accumulation at the jump ring. Remove before showering and sleeping. **At this spec:** A solid 14k gold 0.5ct E/VVS2 drop earring retails at approximately $1,100+ for a pair in traditional channels ($550 per single). Lamond's model keeps it at $580 per single. Ships with IGI certification.
Frequently asked
Is the diamond in the Eclipse Drop real?
Yes. Every Lamond piece uses real lab-grown diamonds — chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. The Eclipse Drop features a 0.50ct per piece Excellent cut, E color, VVS2 clarity stone, IGI Certified.
What metal is the Eclipse Drop made from?
The Eclipse Drop is made from Solid 14k Gold (single). All Lamond pieces use solid 14k or 18k gold — never plated or filled — so they won't tarnish, fade, or turn your skin green.
Can I return the Eclipse Drop if it doesn't fit?
Yes. Lamond offers a 30-day return policy on unworn pieces. Free returns on all US orders. We also offer free resizing on rings and bracelets within the first year.
How is this different from a mined diamond?
Lab-grown diamonds have the exact same chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds — even IGI gemologists use the same grading scale for both. The difference is ours are grown in a controlled lab environment in weeks instead of being mined, which means zero environmental displacement and ~70% lower cost.
