Bestselling Earrings - October

The Marquise Stud Earrings set three marquise-cut white diamonds in each ear, on approx. 1.34 g of solid 18K gold (750 hallmark) for the pair, in yellow, rose or white gold, with a certificate of authenticity.

Three stones rather than one: marquise cuts are pointed at both ends, so set in sequence they meet tip to tip and draw a line across the lobe. At 0.52 ct for the pair on only 1.34 g of gold the stones carry most of the piece. The figures given are for the pair.

The Daisy Stud Earrings combine pearls with white diamonds, on approx. 1.40 g of solid 18K gold (750 hallmark), in yellow, rose or white gold, with a certificate of authenticity.

Pearl and diamond return light in opposite ways — soft sheen against sharp sparkle — which is what keeps a small piece from reading as a single bright point. The Daisy Chain uses the same pairing on 2.0 g with a chain.

The Britney Love Earrings set round diamonds at the lobe and hang fine gold chains below, on approx. 1.0 g of solid 18K gold (750 hallmark) per single piece, in yellow, rose or white gold, with a certificate of authenticity.

The chains move independently of the set part, so the earring catches light with every movement rather than only when the head turns. At 0.31 ct on only 1.0 g of gold the stones carry most of the piece. Note the figures are for a single earring.

The Rich & Bold Queen Hoop Earrings shape a gold hoop after a noble crown, set with white diamonds, on approx. 5.5 g of solid 18K gold (750 hallmark), in yellow, rose or white gold, with a certificate of authenticity.

At 5.5 g of gold against only 0.30 ct of diamond, the worked gold form carries the piece rather than the stones — the opposite balance to the Large Verona hoops, which put 1.36 ct on 7.0 g. The crown outline is what makes it read as a design rather than as a plain hoop.

The Pure Solitaire Stud Earrings set a single brilliant diamond in each ear, in solid 18K gold (750 hallmark), in yellow, rose or white gold, with a certificate of authenticity.

Six stone weights are offered from 0.10 ct up to 2 ct per earring, and the gold rises with them from 0.400 g to 1.50 g — a larger stone needs a larger mount to hold it. All figures are per single earring, so a 2 ct pair carries 4 ct in total. Each piece can be bought singly or as a pair.

The price does not rise in step with the carat weight: a single 2 ct brilliant is far rarer than four stones of half a carat, and the diamond market prices it accordingly. That is why the step from 1 ct to 2 ct is steeper than the step from 0.40 ct to 0.50 ct.

The Trio Cuff Earrings set diamonds along three gold bands worn on the edge of the ear, on approx. 0.900 g of solid 18K gold (750 hallmark), in yellow, rose or white gold, with a certificate of authenticity.

Three bands give the effect of three stacked piercings without any — one more than the Double Cuff, and on considerably less gold at 0.900 g against 1.60 g, so it sits lighter on the ear while carrying a similar 0.15 ct.
