Our verdict

Lab-grown diamond studs in 18K yellow gold for a buyer who wants a stated 3 carat total weight and a mention of an IGI lab grading report, at $3,600. Look elsewhere if you need individual stone sizes, color and clarity grades or a gram weight, because the listing gives none of them. The main caveat is that the listing does not reproduce the report, so what it grades is not something this review can confirm.

Best for
Someone who wants lab-grown diamond studs in 18K gold with the carat total and a grading report mentioned.
Skip if
You need stone sizes, color and clarity grades or the weight of the gold.

Priced at $3,600 as a single option, these stud earrings are set in 18K yellow gold. The listing describes round-cut lab-grown diamonds with a 3 carat total weight in a classic basket setting, and says each pair is accompanied by an IGI lab grading report. The metal is the only specification row; the listing gives no stud diameter, no stone count and no weight in grams.

Options and pricing

There is one variant at $3,600, so the carat weight, metal and setting are fixed as listed: 3 carat total weight, 18K Yellow Gold and a basket setting. The listing offers no other carat weights or metals and gives no weight in grams. It adds that each pair comes with an IGI lab grading report, without saying what the report contains.

How it compares

The 18K Rope Hoop Triangle Earrings cost $3,050 and list 13g, a weight this listing does not give. The 18k Yellow Gold Rope Hoop Earrings cost $2,175 at 10g, and the 18k Yellow Gold Small Rope Hoop Earrings cost $1,000 at about 3 g for the pair. Unlike this title, none of their names mentions a diamond.

Shipping and processing

  • Processing. The store's shipping policy page says to allow 1-3 business days to process an order once payment is confirmed, or 2-4 business days during sales and holiday peaks, and that some products are made to order only, taking 4-6 weeks of processing on average before they ship (checked 2026-11-07).
  • This product page says: "Processing time 1-2 weeks".
  • Delivery. The same page gives average shipping times of 1-5 business days within Canada (Canada Post), 1-5 business days across North America (DHL) and 5-7 business days for international tracked shipments, which it says exclude weekends and holidays. It says tracking activates once the parcel has been scanned at the sorting facility and that crossing the border from Canada can take two days.
  • Duties and taxes. The shipping policy says "Customs taxes, duties or import charges are included." The refund policy says "The return shipping costs as well as duties and taxes (if apply) are the customer's responsibility." Both are quoted as written.

Returns and warranty

  • Returns. The store's refund policy page gives 14 days after receiving the item to request a return. The item must be in the condition received, unworn or unused, in its original packaging and in sellable condition, with the receipt or proof of purchase. Contact the store first: items sent back without a return request are not accepted. An approved refund goes to the original payment method, but items bought on sale are refunded as store credit (an e-gift card) only (checked 2026-11-07).
  • Not returnable. The same page says custom products, such as special orders or personalized items, and final sale items cannot be returned. Cancelling an order costs a 7% fee, and the store asks to be contacted within 24 hours of ordering. For exchanges it says the fastest route is to return the item and, once the return is accepted, buy the new one separately. It asks buyers to inspect an order on arrival and to contact the store at once about a defective, damaged or wrong item.
  • This listing. The product page says: "Each piece is made to order and considered final sale". The refund policy says it cannot accept returns on final sale items.
  • Warranty. The store's lifetime warranty page covers manufacturing defects and material failures for the lifetime of the original purchaser, starting at the purchase date: for example loose, damaged or missing stones, broken chains, snapped bracelet strands and malfunctioning clasps or hinges, when caused by a manufacturing defect (checked 2026-11-07). Every claim is reviewed case by case and must be approved.
  • Not covered. The page lists lost or stolen items; scratches, dents and general wear; tarnishing, oxidization and discoloration; damage from chemicals, moisture, chlorine, perfumes, lotions or cleaning solutions; accidents, misuse or improper storage; third-party repairs, alterations, resizing or cleaning; resold items and items from unauthorized sellers; and "Sample sale, clearance, or final sale items, unless otherwise stated".
  • Claims. A claim needs your name, current address, order number or proof of purchase, a description, two clear photos, one photo of the item beside a handwritten note with the order number and, where movement is involved, a video of up to 10 seconds. If a claim is approved the store may repair or replace the piece or issue store credit at its discretion, and it may issue store credit equal to the original value if the piece is no longer available. It offers no rainchecks for discontinued or out-of-stock items.
  • This listing. The product page says: "Each piece is made to order and considered final sale", and the warranty page lists final sale items as not covered unless otherwise stated. The pages do not say whether the lifetime warranty applies to this piece.

Care and custom orders

  • Care. The FAQ says to use the provided Dynamis polishing cloth to clean the silver or gold areas gently, mild diluted soap with warm water for deeper cleaning, and to dry the piece thoroughly before storing it. It advises avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture, perfumes, lotions, chlorine and harsh chemicals (checked 2026-11-07).
  • In the box. The FAQ says every Dynamis order arrives in signature Dynamis packaging and includes a polishing cloth.
  • Gold and custom orders. This listing is an 18K gold product page priced at $3,600. The custom orders page says custom orders start from $2,500 and that an existing Dynamis product made in gold counts as a custom order. Neither page says whether this listing is handled as a custom order, so ask before you buy (checked 2026-11-07).

Before you buy

Dynamis Jewelry says it is a family-owned brand based in Canada, run by a husband-and-wife team, Stepan and Yuliia. Its About page says the business grew from Stepan's work as a jeweller, that it specializes in solid 925 sterling silver and gold, inspired by faith, and that many pieces are produced in limited quantities. The FAQ says the pieces are not mass produced, and the About page says the name comes from the Greek word dynamis, meaning strength, power, fortitude and the ability to overcome (checked 2026-11-07).

Two points on the store's own pages disagree. The refund policy gives [email protected] for starting a return, while the FAQ gives [email protected], so check the address before you write. And the warranty page covers items bought from Dynamis Jewelry "or an authorized Dynamis Jewelry retailer", while the FAQ says authentic Dynamis Jewelry is sold only through the official website and official Dynamis channels and asks buyers to purchase directly from the store.

We have not read any independent review of this piece or of the store. The five-star testimonials on the About page are the store's own selection and were not verified.

What we liked

  • The listing states the stone type (lab-grown diamond), the 3 carat total weight, the round cut and the basket setting
  • The metal is given as 18K Yellow Gold in a specification row
  • The listing says each pair is accompanied by an IGI lab grading report
  • One variant at $3,600, so there is no carat weight or metal to choose between

Worth noting

  • The listing gives no stud diameter, stone count or per-stone size, only the 3 carat total weight
  • No weight in grams is given for the gold or the finished earrings
  • The report is mentioned, but the listing gives no color or clarity grade
  • The listing does not describe the post or back style of the studs

Questions before you buy

What stones are these studs set with?

The listing describes round-cut lab-grown diamonds with a 3 carat total weight in a classic basket setting. It does not give the number of stones or the size of each.

Does the listing mention a grading report?

Yes. The listing says each pair is accompanied by an IGI lab grading report. It does not give the grades, so the contents of the report are not known from the listing.

What metal are the studs?

The listing gives 18K Yellow Gold and no weight in grams.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Not if it is final sale. The product page says: "Each piece is made to order and considered final sale", and the refund policy says final sale items cannot be returned. Check the page before you pay.

How long until it ships?

The shipping policy says an order is processed in 1-3 business days after payment (2-4 in sales and holiday peaks), then takes on average 1-5 business days within Canada or North America or 5-7 business days internationally; some products are made to order and take 4-6 weeks of processing on average. This product page says: "Processing time 1-2 weeks".

Does the lifetime warranty cover a final sale piece?

The warranty page lists "Sample sale, clearance, or final sale items, unless otherwise stated" as not covered, and this product page says final sale. The pages do not say if the warranty applies here, so ask the store before you buy.

Is this gold piece a custom order?

The custom orders page says custom orders start from $2,500 and that an existing Dynamis product made in gold counts as a custom order. This is a regular product page priced at $3,600 that says it is made to order, and the pages do not say how it is treated, so ask the store.

What we couldn’t verify

  • The listing gives no color, clarity or cut grade and no report number; we could not check the IGI lab grading report it mentions.
  • The listing does not say how many stones make up the 3 carat total weight, how large each one is, or what the stud backs are.
  • The listing says the basket setting is designed to maximize light reflection and give a secure, balanced fit; we could not check the setting claims.
  • We have not read any independent review of this piece or of the store; the testimonials on the store's About page are its own and were not verified.
  • The refund policy gives [email protected] for returns while the FAQ gives [email protected]; we could not tell which one is current.
  • The warranty page covers items bought from Dynamis Jewelry "or an authorized Dynamis Jewelry retailer"; the FAQ says the pieces are sold only on the official website and official channels.
  • The custom orders page treats gold versions of existing pieces as custom orders from $2,500; this gold listing is a regular product page priced at $3,600, so we could not tell whether custom-order terms apply.
  • The warranty page excludes final sale items "unless otherwise stated"; this listing says it is final sale, and we could not tell whether the warranty applies.
