The Grace Studs

A single round stone on each ear, held in four slim prongs of 14K gold. The classic stud, done simply and done in real gold. Available in 14K yellow gold or 14K white gold.

The Metal Truth
Material: 14K gold, yellow or white
Stones: Cubic zirconia, lab-created, one 5 mm round stone per earring
Best for: Everyday wear, first piercings or second piercings, a first pair of real gold earrings, a timeless gift
Wear note: The 5 mm stones are noticeable without being large, and the four-prong setting lets light reach each stone from every side.
Care: Take them off before swimming, since chlorine is hard on gold alloys, and before showering or cleaning. Put them on after perfume, lotion, and hairspray. To bring back the sparkle, clean gently with mild soapy water and a soft brush, then dry completely with a soft cloth. Check now and then that the prongs sit snug against the stones. Store them separately in a pouch so the stones don't scratch other pieces.

About 14K Gold
14K gold is 58.3% pure gold, blended with other metals for strength, and it's the most popular karat for fine jewelry because it balances rich color with everyday durability. These earrings are 14K gold, not plated, filled, or vermeil, so there's no surface layer to wear through. Our white gold is left unplated, so it shows its natural color: a soft white with a slight warmth, rather than the bright, mirror-white of rhodium-finished white gold. It's the true color of the metal, and it will stay that way.

Why We Chose It
Every jewelry wardrobe needs one pair of studs that goes with everything. We chose these for their restraint: a clean round stone, four slim prongs, and real 14K gold. Nothing to style around, nothing to think about. Just put them in.

Styling Notes
Wear them alone for a polished everyday look, or use them in a second piercing beside a hoop. The yellow gold pair sits well above the Sloane Huggies in gold vermeil. Pair the white gold studs with the Clara Hoops or the Noor Link Drops for an all-white-metal ear.

Gift Confidence
The most giftable earring there is: right for any age, any style, any occasion, and a lovely first pair of real gold earrings. Choose yellow or white gold to match what they already wear. Add gift packaging at checkout for a ready-to-give box and a personal note.
