Hailey Bieber Proved the Best Earring Trend of 2026 Costs Under $150

Something shifted in jewellery this year. The oversized hoops, the sculptural drops, the pieces that announced themselves before you walked into the room — they've been quietly retired. In their place, diamond studs. Classic, pear-cut, catching light without asking for attention. It's the earring trend Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have been reaching for on repeat — spotted together in matching oversized studs and tennis necklaces at a recent Beverly Hills event — and the movement has quickly spread well beyond their circle. One Melbourne-designed jewellery brand is riding that wave, and from $100, it's the earring everyone thinks costs $2,000.

The la Pera Stud is a two-carat pear-cut stone with a 5A simulated diamond, meticulously cut to mirror the fire and clarity of F-Flawless grade set in a refined three-prong setting that enhances its elongated silhouette. The 5A grade is the highest clarity rating for lab-created stones, and you genuinely cannot tell them apart from mined diamonds. The same refraction. The same brilliance. The same D to F colour grading. Without the ethical and environmental cost of traditional mining and without the price tag to match. For those who want to go a step further, the la Pera is also available in 9k solid gold and 9k white gold with a genuine lab-grown diamond the same stone, ethically grown in a controlled environment, at a fraction of what you'd pay at a traditional jeweller.

Set in your choice of 18k gold vermeil, 925 sterling silver, or 9k solid gold, the la Pera Stud reads as quietly expensive at every price point. Nobody is questioning where it's from. They're asking how much it cost. The first batch sold out before it even officially launched and it's now available on pre-order for the next run. At from $100, it's the entry point to a look that typically starts north of $2,000.
