Women's Gold Earrings

Yellow, white and rose gold

Yellow gold is gold alloyed with silver and copper. White gold adds palladium and is usually rhodium plated. Rose gold carries more copper, which gives the pink tone.

Which karat to choose

18K gold is 75% pure gold and 14K is 58.3%. 18K has the richer colour; 14K is harder and resists scratches a little better.

Gold Earrings: FAQs

Are solid gold earrings good for sensitive ears?

Usually, yes. Solid 14K and 18K gold contains little nickel, the most common cause of reactions. Check each piece: some white gold alloys still use nickel.

Can I sleep in gold huggies?

Small huggies sit close to the lobe and are designed for constant wear. Take larger hoops out at night so the hinge and post are not bent.

How do I clean gold earrings?

Soak them in warm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently with a soft brush and dry with a lint free cloth.
