{"product_id":"9ct-white-gold-3ct-emerald-stud-earrings","title":"9ct White Gold 3ct Lab-Grown Diamond Emerald-Cut Stud Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stud earring is the simplest structure in jewellery and the least forgiving: a setting, a post and a back, with nothing to hide behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is 9ct white gold, carrying 3 ct of lab-grown diamonds in total, cut emerald-cut. As a shape, an emerald cut is a step cut: broad parallel facets and a flat table, which trades sparkle for clarity and a long, architectural flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this suit me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold as a pair. Each earring carries about 1.5 ct; an emerald cut of that weight typically measures about 8 × 5.5 mm face-up (for scale, an Australian 5c coin is 19.4 mm across).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn the ear:\u003c\/strong\u003e A large stud with real presence. Emerald cut stones look a little larger than a round stone of the same weight. Their broad, flat facets give long flashes of light rather than sparkle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort and security:\u003c\/strong\u003e Claw settings show the most stone but can catch on knitwear and fine hair. At this weight, a larger disc back helps the earrings sit upright on softer lobes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earrings take very little wear, and 9ct is the harder alloy, so these will stand up to being worn every day. The bright white finish is rhodium plating, which wears with daily contact and can be renewed by a jeweller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metals: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/18ct-white-gold-3ct-emerald-stud-earrings\"\u003e18ct white gold\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/18ct-yellow-gold-3ct-emerald-stud-earrings\"\u003e18ct yellow gold\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaw setting holds the stone at its girdle with individual prongs, leaving the sides open so light enters from every direction.
