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.
