Stud Muffin Earrings White Gold Half Carat
Each Stud Muffin features a 1/4 carat SCS certified Lab Grown Diamond and SCS certified 14K gold. Total carat weight for the pair is 1/2 carat.
WEND's take on diamond stud earrings are modern, yet timelessly classic. Our gold is certified recycled 14K, and the settings are handmade in our West Seattle Jewelry studio. We love these snug, yet comfortable silicone/14K gold backs. They hold tight, keep the earring upright and not droopy, and they won't hurt your ears.
Once you order, we will start making them in our jewelry studio. Stud Muffins take about 4 weeks to craft from hand.
The diamonds we feature in our Stud Muffins are absolutely stunning, and were grown in an SCS certified sustainable lab called Alkor-D in Kyiv, Ukraine, powered mostly by solar panels. Alkor-D was founded by a woman named Julia Kusher, and most of her team are women, too. Her company raises funds for future restoration efforts for the Ukraine.
According to an article in Forbes from March 6, 2024, Ukrainian companies like Julia's play a crucial role in the country's economic survival, national resilience, and post-war recovery by continuing operations amid the war. They contribute to economic stability, support the war effort, maintain social stability, foster innovation and adaptation, enhance national identity and morale, and lay the foundation for post-war reconstruction. These companies persist amid immense difficulties, ultimately serving the greater good of Ukraine.
After the war began, Julia closed the diamond factory, but her employees wanted to get back to work. To keep her team safe, Julia opened a bomb shelter. Whenever her team gets warnings of an airstrike, they seek shelter.
