Solid 14K Gold Earrings

How to choose solid 14K gold earrings

Choose earrings by size first, then closure, then style. Small studs and huggies suit everyday wear and sleeping, while larger hoops and pearl drops suit dressing up. All of our earrings are solid 14K gold stamped 585, which matters for earrings because the post sits inside the ear all day.

Hoops: size and shape

Our hoops cover a useful range. Tiny huggies at 12 mm hug the lobe and work well in a second hole. The 2 cm square edge sleepers and the 20 mm tube hoops are small enough for daily wear. For more presence, look at the thick ribbed 2 cm tube hoops, the croissant hoops, the braided hoops or the flat ribbon twist hoops, which are made to stay light. The two-tone twisted hoops mix white and yellow gold, so they go with either metal.

Studs and pearls

Studs are the easiest everyday choice. The high-polish ball studs have no stones at all, while the pave heart and open heart studs use cubic zirconia. For pearl lovers, we offer freshwater pearl halo studs, pearl flower cluster earrings, asymmetric pearl studs and white gold pearl drops. Our pearl jewelry guide covers how to wear and care for pearls, and the full range is in our pearl jewelry collection.

Closures and comfort

Hoops usually close with a snap or a hinged click, which is secure and easy to use with one hand. Studs use posts with backs. If you have sensitive ears, solid gold is a sensible choice because there is no base metal under a thin coating. For a protective touch, the curb chain hoops carry a small Turkish nazar charm.

Matching and gifting

Earrings are a safe gift because there is no size to guess. Pair them with a necklace in the same finish for a coordinated look, or browse our gold jewelry sets, where pieces are designed together.
