9ct Yellow Gold 0.10ct 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 9ct yellow gold, set with 0.10 ct of natural mined diamonds graded GH/SI. Made from 100% certified Australian gold. The line runs to 20 individually set stones.

Will this suit me?

• Size: Sold as a pair. Each earring is about 27 mm long overall, set with 10 diamonds; the pair carries 0.10 ct of natural diamonds in total.
• On the ear: A mid-length drop that moves as you turn your head.
• Everyday wear: Take drops out before pulling clothes over your head, where they can catch. Earrings take very little wear, and 9ct is the harder alloy, so these will stand up to being worn every day.
• Other options: Metal: 18ct yellow gold.
• Matching pieces: Photographed as a set with the 0.50 ct bracelet, 0.10 ct hoop earrings and 0.12 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.

9ct yellow gold is 375 parts per thousand fine gold. The higher alloy content makes it hard and more scratch-resistant than 18ct, which is why it's always been the popular choice for everyday wear.

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