9ct Yellow Gold 0.30ct Diamond Earrings

A stud or fixed earring is the least forgiving structure in jewellery: a setting, a post and a back, with nothing to hide behind.

This one is 9ct yellow gold, set with 0.30 ct of natural mined diamonds graded GH/SI. Made from 100% certified Australian gold. The line runs to 18 individually set stones.

Will this suit me?

• Size: Sold as a pair. Each hoop is about 13.05 mm across and 1.89 mm wide at the front, set with nine diamonds; the pair carries 0.30 ct of natural diamonds in total.
• On the ear: A small hoop that sits snugly around the edge of the lobe.
• Everyday wear: The hinge and catch take the wear, so close them fully each time. 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. Hoop sizes: 11.77 mm, 12.66 mm, 17.2 mm, 19.94 mm.

The post should sit centred in the setting. An off-centre post is the reason earrings tilt forward as the day goes on.

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. Replace butterfly backs before they loosen enough to lose.
