Made to orderMade to order

The kinds here: one-stone studs, clusters and flowers, sapphire and other gemstone pairs, black diamond, cube and pillow, crosses and singles. Every diamond is natural or lab-grown, and a pair's ctw adds both earrings: 2 ctw is 1 carat an ear. Listed widths run 3 to 20 mm across.

“Buy jewelry you fall in love with: something that makes you happy every time you put it on.” Trax, at the jewelry store on 47th Street

Wear a stud 5 to 7 mm across for every day. Most pieces here are solid 14K gold, and most carry diamonds.

The pair bought most here is a 10K diamond flower, and one-stone studs lead the page in sales.

Buyer's guide

How to buy men's diamond earrings

Pick the kind, the width, the stone and the gold, then the back that holds it on

Start with a diamond stud on a screw back. It is the pair a man wears every day. Keep it 5 to 7 mm across for daily wear. Take 14K gold, and go lab-grown if you want the bigger stone. The back is rarely on the listing, so ask the desk before you pay.

See your stud size on your ear

Set your screen once with a bank card and the stones below are drawn at their true size. Pick a size; to see it on you, hold the phone beside your ear in a mirror.

1. Set the screen with a card

Lay any bank, debit or ID card flat on the screen, standing tall, so its short edge runs across the box, and move the slider until the box is exactly as wide as the card. No bank card? A driver's license, metro card, gift card or hotel key is the same size.

2. Pick a size, carats a stone

A 1 carat round diamond measures about 6.5 mm across. 5 of the 34 stud pairs here that name a weight are 1 carat a stone, 2 ctw the pair.

Stud earrings are sold by ctw, the total weight of the pair: half of it sits on each ear, so a 2 ctw pair is two stones of 1 carat. The stones are drawn as round diamonds; at the same weight a princess or emerald cut looks a little smaller and an oval or pear a little longer.

The stones are drawn as round diamonds by our rule of thumb for a well-cut round of that weight, not a listing's measurement. The pairs are the listings here that name a weight.

Kinds: men's diamond studs, flower and cluster earrings, crosses and singles

Start with a stud. It sits flat on the lobe on a straight post, most often one stone. The pair bought most is a diamond flower, small stones set as petals.

A cluster packs small diamonds into one face without the petals. A cross or a cube is named for its shape. Black diamond is a stone, not a kind, and it sits in studs and clusters, never in a flower. No title says hoop or huggie, so ask us for one.

Size: what size diamond stud a man should wear, in mm and carats

Wear 5 to 7 mm across for every day. From 8 mm up, the stud is meant to be seen. Shop by the width, which is what the eye reads. A round stud pair of 1 ctw lists about 5 mm across. Take 2 ctw, listed at 6.5 mm, for the everyday stud. At 4 ctw a round lab pair lists 8 mm across, and people notice it. A flower or a cluster spreads small stones, so it looks bigger than its carat.

Diamonds: lab-grown or natural, and what ctw means on a pair

Both are diamond. Lab-grown puts the bigger stone on the ear, and natural is the rarer one; to see grown pairs for men and women side by side, open lab-grown diamond earrings. The ctw adds both earrings, so a 2 ctw pair is one carat an ear. Nearly every diamond listing names natural or lab-grown, natural on most, so check that line before you buy. Choose width and cut before the grades, since an eye-clean SI1 or VS2 in G or H looks like the letters above it from across a table.

Metal: 14K, 18K or 10K gold earrings for men

Take 14K. It holds a post through years of backs going on and off, and most pairs here are made in it. 18K carries more gold and a deeper yellow, and it is softer. 10K is the hardest and the palest. 14K and 18K each have a page of their own, men's and women's pairs together: 14K gold earrings and 18K gold earrings. You pick the gold color on each listing. For a sensitive ear, ask what a white pair is alloyed with, or wear yellow.

Studs for guys: the first ear studs for guys, by size

A first pair runs 3 to 7 mm across. From 3 to 5 mm a stud stays small, the size for an ear that just healed. At 5 mm or less, a 1 ctw lab pair comes in .925 silver and in 14K. At 6.5 mm sits the 2 ctw round lab pair in 14K. All the men's stud earrings sit together.

Backs: screw back or push back, and buying one earring

Take a screw back. It threads onto the post and stays through a workout or a shirt pulled over your head. A push back slides on faster, and its grip loosens over the years. No title names the back a pair carries, and the desk can tell you before you order.

A single is one earring, and its grams and carat are for that one. A 2 ctw single is one stone of two carats. The single earrings sit together, and the desk can say whether a pair splits. The live chat reaches the desk first; the number 212-872-9692 does too, by voice or text, and is answered from 10 AM ET.

Questions we get in the store

What diamond earring should a man wear in a new piercing?

A fresh piercing is your piercer's job, and it heals on the piercer's starter jewelry. Once healed, start with a small diamond stud, 3 to 5 mm across, on a screw back. No title names the back, so ask the live chat which back a pair wears, or text 212-872-9692 for a reply from 10 AM ET.

What size diamond stud should a man wear?

Wear 5 to 7 mm across for every day. From 8 mm up, a stud is there to be seen. Our 2 ctw round studs list 6.5 mm across. If a listing prints no width, ask the desk.

Lab-grown or natural diamond studs?

Both are real diamond. Lab-grown gives you the bigger stone. Natural is the scarcer one.

How many carats is a pair of diamond studs?

The ctw on a pair adds both earrings, so a 2 ctw pair is one carat in each ear.

Are these men's gold earrings solid gold or plated?

Solid gold. Nearly every listing names its karat, 10K, 14K or 18K, the silver pairs say .925 silver, and none calls itself plated. For how a white gold pair is finished, ask the desk.

Can I buy just one earring?

Yes: a single's grams and carat are for that one earring. For a design sold as a pair, ask the desk whether it can be split and what one comes to. The single earrings sit together.

Can a man wear earrings to the gym, in the shower or to bed?

In a screw back, yes to all of it. Take any pair out for the pool, since chlorine dulls the alloy. A push back comes out for workouts and for sleep. Clean it with warm water, dish soap and a soft brush.

Can I return men's earrings?

Yes, within fourteen calendar days of confirmed delivery, new, unworn and unaltered, with our go-ahead and only on a label TraxNYC issues. A pair made to order for you is final; check with the desk on yours before you buy. The refund is short five percent for restocking and the return shipping.

Shop by style

Men's diamond earrings from 47th Street

TraxNYC has been the jewelry store on 47th Street, in New York's Diamond District, since 2004. Some pairs are made after you order; ask the desk for the timing on yours. For another karat or a stone the listing doesn't show, ask in the chat. For a pair of your own design, send us a photo or an idea in the chat: your deposit starts the 3D design, nothing is made before you approve it, and our custom earrings show pairs made to order. Which ear? Either, or both: which ear men wear earrings has the full answer.

Shop by kind: men's diamond stud earrings, diamond cluster earrings, black diamond earrings, sapphire and gemstone earrings, cube and pillow earrings, baguette earrings, cross earrings, single earrings and hip-hop earrings. Pairs for him and her together are on gold earrings, pairs for her on diamond earrings for women, men's gold chains go with them, and buyers' own words are on the reviews page.

Stud, cluster or flower: which look is which?

A one-stone stud sets a single diamond in each ear, flat on the lobe. A cluster packs small diamonds into one face, and a flower sets them as petals, so the same carat spreads wider. This 14K cluster pair holds 0.92 ctw and lists 9 mm across; this one-stone pair holds 0.9 ctw and lists 5 mm. No title here says hoop or huggie, so ask the desk if you want one.

Size: go by the width

From 8 mm up, a stud gets noticed.

Natural or lab-grown

Both are real diamond: a lab-grown stone is grown in a lab, a natural one is mined.

Gold: karat and color

Most pairs here are solid 14K, with 18K and 10K beside them and a few in sterling silver. 18K holds more gold, so its yellow runs deeper and it wears softer; 10K holds less, so it is paler and harder. Pick yellow, white or rose gold on the listing: most pairs offer all three.

A diamond for a new piercing?

A new piercing heals on the starter jewelry your piercer puts in, and the piercer tells you when the ear can take a change. Then start small and secure: under 5 mm across, on a screw back.

Backs, and buying one earring

The back is rarely on the listing, so ask the desk before you order. A screw back threads on and stays put through a workout; a push back is quicker but loosens with the years. A single's carat and grams are for that one earring: the single earrings sit together, and the desk can tell you whether a pair can be split. Ask on the live chat.

Ask a jeweler

Ask us in the chat on this page (the AI at night, people from 10 AM), or call or text 212-872-9692, answered from 10 AM ET. Give the number at the end of the piece's name. To visit the store at 64 W 47th St, text or call first, and a jeweler tells you what the store has that day, so you can plan your visit.
