The Ariete Marquise Studs are marquise diamond earrings framed by a hand-set pave halo.

A marquise-cut diamond sits at the centre of each stud, ringed by smaller brilliants that widen its presence to 0.48ct total. Made one pair at a time in solid gold, they bring a little of an engagement ring's drama to an everyday stud.

Why the Ariete Marquise Studs

  • Marquise centre, halo frame: a marquise diamond framed by pave brilliants, approx 0.48ct per pair.
  • More presence on the ear: the halo widens the look without the weight of a larger solitaire.
  • Recycled solid gold: made one pair at a time in 9ct or 18ct yellow, white or rose gold.
  • Ethical materials: set with your choice of lab-grown or natural F VS diamonds, in ethical solid gold.
  • Made to order in Australia: hand-made in our Byron Bay Hinterland atelier by Australian goldsmiths, in 4 to 8 weeks.
  • Backed for life: every Lucano piece carries a lifetime craftsmanship warranty, with free shipping Australia-wide.

Frequently asked questions

What is a marquise diamond?
A marquise is an elongated cut with pointed ends, designed to look larger for its weight and to draw the eye. On the Ariete, each marquise centre is framed by a pave halo for extra sparkle and presence.

Are these good for everyday wear?
Yes. At about 0.48ct total with a secure post and butterfly fitting, they sit comfortably on the ear and move easily from day to evening.

Lab-grown or natural diamonds?
Both are offered, all F VS quality. You choose lab-grown or natural, plus your gold colour, at checkout.

How long do they take to make?
Each pair is hand-made to order in our Byron Bay Hinterland atelier, typically within 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.
