9ct Yellow Gold 8mm Dome Stud Earrings

A dome stud is a hemisphere on a post Ñ half a ball, flat to the lobe. It presents one continuous curved surface with no facets and no edges, so what it returns is a single moving highlight rather than scatter. The flat back means it sits closer to the lobe than a full ball of the same diameter, and reads wider for its height.

This pair is 9ct yellow gold, 8 mm across. Dimension is the diameter across the face.

At 8 mm the stud covers most of the lobe. This is the size where the weight of the metal starts to be felt, and where a secure back matters.
