18ct White Gold 0.43ct Diamond Drop Earrings

A drop earring hangs below the lobe and moves with the wearer, which is the whole point of it: the stones catch light from changing angles rather than sitting still.

This one is 18ct white gold, set with 0.43 ct of natural mined diamonds graded GH/SI. Made from 100% certified Australian gold. The line runs to 78 individually set stones.

Will this suit me?

• Size: Sold as a pair. Each earring is about 33 mm long overall, set with 39 diamonds; the pair carries 0.43 ct of natural diamonds in total.
• On the ear: A longer drop that moves freely and catches the light.
• Everyday wear: Take drops out before pulling clothes over your head, where they can catch. Earrings take very little wear, so the softer, richer-coloured 18ct suits everyday wear here. The bright white finish is rhodium plating, which wears with daily contact and can be renewed by a jeweller.
• Other options: Metals: 18ct yellow gold, 9ct white gold.
• Matching pieces: Photographed as a set with the 0.70 ct necklace.

The articulation point just below the post is what takes the wear. A well-made drop moves freely there without any play in the joint.

18ct white gold is 750 parts per thousand fine gold in a white alloy, finished with rhodium plating. The plating is a wearing surface and is renewable; beneath it the alloy carries a faint warm cast, which is normal for white gold.

Care. Sold as a pair. Put drops on last, after clothing and hair, and take them off first.
