Arpeggio Diamond Ear Climbers
Five diamonds, played one at a time.
Arpeggio Ear Climbers run five round brilliant lab-grown diamonds up the curve of the ear, largest at the piercing and smaller with every step. The setting is 14k gold pared back to a few fine prongs, so what shows is a rising line of light and almost no metal.
An arpeggio is a chord played note by note, climbing. This one sits in a first or second piercing, or higher in a helix, and stays where you put it: the post is cut a touch short and a long gold hook runs down behind the ear to hold the line at its angle.
Diamond-forward and barely there at half a gram each. Wear the pair, or choose a single for your left or right ear and let it climb alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
The post is 4mm, a little shorter than usual, so the climber sits snug against the ear. A 12mm gold hook then runs down behind the lobe and holds the line of diamonds at its angle.
Yes. Arpeggio is made for a first or second lobe piercing, and a single works in a helix too. At 12mm long and half a gram, it follows the edge of the ear wherever you place it.
Left and Right mean your own left and right ear. The two are mirror images, each curving up and back along the outer edge of its ear. Choose Pair for one of each. If you’re buying a single for a second piercing or a helix, choose the side you’ll wear it on.
Often, yes. Non-standard sizes, stone swaps, and other modifications are possible on many pieces — email concierge@zaylanewyork.com with what you have in mind and we'll tell you what we can do. Just note that custom-made pieces can only be exchanged or returned for store credit.
Chemically, physically, and optically — nothing. Even a professional gemologist needs specialized equipment to tell them apart. Lab-grown diamonds form under the same heat and pressure as mined stones; the address is just different.
We chose lab-grown because they're traceable, responsibly made, and let us set bigger, better stones at honest prices.
Because lab-grown diamonds changed the math — and we price off the new math.
Growing a diamond above ground costs a fraction of mining one. Much of the industry still prices diamonds the way it did a decade ago — and the market would let us do the same. But we exist to make diamonds accessible: an everyday staple, not a once-a-decade splurge. So we price off what diamonds actually cost us today, plus the honest margin a small business needs. Nothing padded, nothing theatrical.
The stones don't cut corners: graded on the same 4Cs as mined diamonds, full specs on every product page, and IGI certification available on any stone 0.5 carat or larger for an additional fee (details in “Are your diamonds certified?” below). The price isn't the catch — it's the point. Diamonds you can wear every day.
Every diamond's specs — carat, color, clarity, cut — are listed in the Details section of its product page. For pieces with stones 0.5 carat or larger, we can arrange IGI certification before your piece ships — fees are generally $25–$150 per stone, depending on stone size, and it adds about a week of processing. Anyone can request a quote. Email hello@zaylanewyork.com to set it up. One note: the certification fee isn't refundable, even if the piece comes back to us.
We offer free 14-day returns on all unworn items with original tags attached. Pieces marked Final Sale (look for the red badge on the product page and in your cart) can't be returned or exchanged.
Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days. Express shipping is available for 2-3 day delivery.
