Why we love this deal
Folks may have their opinions in the longstanding debate over “real” gems vs. lab-grown stones, but for us, the latter is the affordable way to get a high-end look for less. Whether it’s a bracelet, a necklace, or the Macy’s Lab-Grown Sapphire and White Sapphire Stud Earrings, we’re more than thrilled that lab-grown stones are being used more and more, because they’re a more eco-friendly, cost-effective solution to adding eye-catching accessories to your ever-growing jewelry collection without spending hundreds of dollars.
Macy’s is selling the square stud earrings for 65% off thanks to a special sale and discount code already applied ahead of checkout so that you can get the $250 earrings for $88. With the holidays coming up and so many people to shop for, there’s no better time to save $162 and get a pair or two for the jewelry-lover in your life.

Why do shoppers love it?
These earrings are very reminiscent of the engagement stone Princess Diana and now Kate Middleton wears on her ring finger. Designed with lab-grown blue and white sapphire stones, the earring is arranged with a large, cushion cut sapphire stone set in a four-pronged setting, which is then surrounded by two layers of boarding white sapphire stones that are smaller and round in shape. Between the two earrings, there are 2-⅙ carats of blue sapphire and ⅓ carat of white sapphire to create a truly stunning earring with a bright pop of blue color.
Measuring approximately ⅓-inch in diameter each, the earrings aren’t overly large, but with that kind of carat weight they certainly are a bigger, heavier earring so if you have sensitive lobes this style might not be for you. On that note with sensitivities, those who occasionally react to metals will be thrilled to learn that outside the lab-grown stones, the earring is made with sterling silver. Although sterling silver does contain a very small amount of alloy metals, mixed with 92.5% of pure silver, it becomes a hypoallergenic material that is typically safe for even the most sensitive skin. No aches, pains, or strain on or around your piercings with these earrings.
Earrings like these deserve to sparkle and shine, and when they aren’t you can always head over to select Macy’s stores for free in-store jewelry cleaning. Participating locations will have those earrings looking brand new, no purchase necessary, whenever they seem like they need a deep clean.
