9ct Rose Gold 5mm Heavy Flattened Ball Stud Earrings

A flattened ball is a sphere compressed through its axis: a disc from the front, a ball in profile. Flattening spreads the same quantity of metal across a wider face, so the earring reads noticeably larger than a round ball of the same nominal size while weighing the same.

This pair is 9ct rose gold, 5 mm across. Heavier-gauge wall than the standard version, which is what lets the form be flattened without distorting.

At 5 mm the stud reads deliberately rather than incidentally, and still sits comfortably under a phone or a pillow.

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.
