Built to hold its colour. This classic piece is 14K gold-bonded, meaning real gold is permanently fused to the sterling silver beneath — far more durable than standard plating.
Specifications
- Total weight: ~4.9 g (pair)
- Base: hallmarked 925 sterling silver (4.5 g), rhodium-plated for a bright, tarnish-resistant finish
- Gold: real 14K (585°) gold, 0.22 g — heat-bonded plate, not flash plating
- Stones: 90 cubic zirconia, hand-set
- Secure friction-back posts, comfortable for all-day wear
- Hypoallergenic, nickel-free
- Backed by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects
Why it's special
Standard gold plating is microns thick and fades fast. Our gold-bonded process heat-fuses a much thicker layer of real 14K gold to a sterling silver core, which is why it holds colour through years of daily wear instead of weeks.
Care
Treat it like fine gold. Avoid perfume, lotion, and chlorinated water, wipe with a soft microfiber cloth after wear, and store in the jewelry box it ships in to protect the bonded gold surface.
14K gold bonded to sterling silver
Real 14K gold heat-fused to a hallmarked 925 silver core — 10–20× thicker than the micron-thin gold wash used on costume jewelry.
Real gold
A real 14-karat gold layer, weighed and recorded for every piece — not a gold-coloured coating.
Thicker
Heat-fused under high pressure to a sterling silver core, so it won't flake or peel.
Daily wear
Lasts years through showers, workouts, and everyday life. Hypoallergenic silver underneath.
Why it outlasts costume jewelry
Gold-washed brass fades and marks the skin. Gold bonded to 925 silver keeps its colour, and the metal underneath is still silver.

Earring size & fit
How stone sizes look on the ear, which closures we use, and how to wear earrings comfortably all day.
Stone size on the ear
| Stone | Diameter | How it reads |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 Ct | ≈ 5.2 mm | Subtle everyday sparkle |
| 1.0 Ct | ≈ 6.5 mm | Noticeable — the classic stud size |
| 2.0 Ct | ≈ 8.2 mm | Statement, catches light across the room |
For hoops and huggies: 10–14 mm hugs the earlobe, 15–25 mm is a classic hoop, 30 mm+ is a statement. The diameter is listed on each product page.
Closure types
- Friction push back — the classic stud closure: slides on, holds firmly, easy on and off.
- Screw back — twists onto a threaded post; the most secure option, great for sleeping in or for valuable stones.
- Hinged huggie latch — clicks shut around the lobe; no separate back to lose.
- Lever / English back — for drop earrings: the lever locks behind the lobe and keeps the earring hanging straight.
Comfort & care
- Hypoallergenic by default. All our posts are 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated and nickel-free — safe for sensitive ears.
- Weight matters. Under ~2 g per earring feels weightless all day; heavier drops are best for occasions.
- Keep the sparkle. Take earrings off before showering and sleeping, wipe with a soft cloth after wear.
