Frequently asked questions

Are diamond hoop earrings good for everyday wear?
Yes. The Aura Hoops use a secure post and butterfly back and a slim 16mm silhouette, so they sit comfortably from day to evening. Set with F VS diamonds in solid gold, they are built for daily wear and backed by a lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

What size are these hoops?
The Aura Hoops measure 16mm across, a petite everyday size that reads as elegant rather than bold. They carry 0.20ct of F VS diamonds and fasten with a post and butterfly back.

Can I choose lab-grown or natural diamonds?
Yes. Every pair is set with your choice of lab-grown or natural F VS diamonds, in your preferred 9ct or 18ct yellow, white or rose gold. Made to order in Byron Bay Hinterland, Australia, in 4 to 8 weeks.

How long do they take to make?
Each pair is hand-made to order in our Byron Bay Hinterland atelier by Australian goldsmiths, in 4 to 8 weeks, with free shipping Australia-wide and a lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

Are lab grown diamonds as good as natural diamonds?
Lab grown and natural diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical. Every Lucano diamond is F VS graded. The only differences are provenance and price: lab grown diamonds cost less for the same colour and clarity grade, while natural diamonds carry geological rarity.
What does F VS mean in your diamond grading?
F is the colour grade, the highest 'colourless' tier just below D and E. VS means 'Very Slightly Included', where inclusions are visible only under 10x magnification and not to the naked eye. Every Lucano diamond meets or exceeds this standard.
Where is Lucano jewellery made and how are your diamonds sourced?
Every piece is hand-made in our Byron Bay Hinterland studio by Australian goldsmiths. Our founder is a member of St Eligio, Università e Nobil Collegio degli Orefici jewellery association established in Rome in 1508. Gold is sourced from ABC Refinery (Australia's only LBMA/SGE/COMEX-accredited independent refiner), and every diamond is traceable, RJC-certified, and comes with full chain-of-custody documentation.
What's the difference between 9ct, 18ct, and platinum settings?
9ct gold is harder and more affordable. 18ct gold has a richer warmth and higher gold content (75%). Platinum is the densest and most durable; it doesn't tarnish and develops a soft patina over time. Every Lucano setting holds your diamond with the same goldsmithing precision.
How long does a Lucano hand-made piece take?
Each piece is hand-made to order in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. You can see your specific production and delivery timeline on the product page.
