9ct Rose Gold 10mm Heavy Ball Stud Earrings

A ball stud is a sphere on a post. ÒHeavyÓ is the trade's word for the wall thickness: the ball is formed from heavier-gauge metal than the standard version, so it resists denting and holds its shape over years of wear rather than going soft and oval.

This pair is 9ct rose gold, 10 mm across. The weight of a ball stud sits directly on the lobe rather than hanging from it, which is why ball studs stay comfortable at diameters that would be unwearable as a drop.

At 10 mm this is the largest size in the range and effectively a statement earring, covering the lobe and standing clear of it.

9ct rose gold is 375 parts per thousand fine gold, its colour drawn from copper in the alloy. The copper also hardens the metal, so rose gold holds a polish particularly well.
