What Customers Say
Based on 780 mentions across social media and review platforms
The Lori Paige studs are popular as a matching complement to the Lauren Joy necklace. Wearers praise the comfortable fit and visible sparkle despite the petite size. Some note they're expensive for the total diamond weight, but most appreciate the elevated design compared to basic diamond studs.
"These are my everyday go-to earrings. They're so comfortable I forget I'm wearing them but they catch the light beautifully. I got them to match my Lauren Joy necklace and together they're perfection."
Reddit r/jewelry
"Bought these as a gift for my daughter's graduation. The quality is exceptional and they look much more impressive than the total carat weight suggests. The disc shape is so much more interesting than plain studs."
Nordstrom reviews
"$550 for 0.14 carats total weight? That's an incredibly high price per carat. You can get 0.50 ctw diamond studs from Blue Nile for less than this. You're paying entirely for the design and brand name."
Reddit r/FinancialAdvice
"Pretty little studs, well made. The push-back posts feel secure and the discs are a nice size for the earlobe. Not mind-blowing but a solid choice for daily wear diamonds."
Google Reviews
"I wear these in my second holes and they're the perfect size. Just enough sparkle without competing with whatever I put in my first holes. The rose gold color is gorgeous."

Petite Disc, Maximum Sparkle
The Lori Paige Mini Diamond Stud Earrings translate Dana Rebecca’s signature pavé disc design into an earring format that’s both compelling and practical. Each 5mm disc is set with pavé diamonds totaling 0.14 carats per pair, creating a micro-constellation of sparkle that outperforms its modest carat weight on paper. The concave disc shape captures and redirects light in a way that flat settings simply cannot, giving these studs a presence that belies their petite dimensions. In 14K gold with push-back posts, they’re built for the kind of daily wear that fine jewelry should deliver.
Comfort and Wearability
At just 1.2 grams for the pair, the Lori Paige studs are virtually weightless on the ear. The flat disc profile sits flush against the lobe without protruding, making them comfortable for all-day wear including sleeping. The push-back posts are secure enough for active lifestyles, though like all push-back designs, they should be checked periodically for tightness. The low profile also makes these excellent candidates for second or third piercings where smaller, flatter studs are preferred.
The Price Question
The elephant in the room is the cost-per-carat calculation. At $550 for 0.14 total carats, these are expensive diamonds by weight. However, evaluating these studs purely on carat weight misses the design value — the pavé disc format, the 14K gold construction, and the coordinated aesthetic with Dana Rebecca’s necklace collections. For buyers who want cohesive, design-forward diamond jewelry from a respected fine jewelry brand, the premium has purpose. For pure carat maximizers, traditional diamond studs from Blue Nile or James Allen offer significantly more stone for the money.
