Each stud is a tiny clover built from three heart-shaped rubies. The points of the hearts meet right at the centre, and the gold settings are just little beads holding them in place. It's a simple idea that creates a lot of shape in a small space.
You're looking at a pair of stud earrings. Each one has three heart-cut natural rubies arranged in a tight cluster. The 18k yellow gold setting is minimal, with small, rounded prongs at the cleft and tips of each heart. This forms a little flower or clover shape that measures about 8mm across. The gold has a bright, high-polish finish that contrasts with the deep pinkish-red of the rubies.
The posts and settings are solid 18k gold, which is 75% pure gold. The remaining 25% is alloyed metals that give it strength, which means it’s tough enough for something you'll wear often and very resistant to tarnish. The stones are natural rubies, not lab-grown. This means that if you look very closely, you'll see slight variations and internal characteristics inside each stone. Their colour is genuine to the stone itself, not a dye or coating.
- Material: 18k Yellow Gold
- Gemstone: 6 Natural Rubies (3 per earring)
- Dimensions: 8 mm x 8 mm
- Post Length: 6 mm
- Sold as a pair.
These are for when a single solitaire stud feels a bit too plain, but you don't want a dangling earring. The 8mm cluster sits neatly on the lobe and doesn't droop. It gives you a pop of rich colour and a distinct shape that’s more interesting than a simple dot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the natural rubies in my Cherry Blossom studs have tiny specks inside?
Those specks, or inclusions, are a hallmark of natural rubies. They are tiny mineral crystals or fissures that formed inside the stone as it grew in the earth. This is how you can be sure your rubies are genuine and not lab-created glass, as each stone has a unique internal fingerprint.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 18k gold Cherry Blossom Ruby Studs?
Yes, you can, as 18k gold won't tarnish from water. However, we recommend taking them out. Soaps and shampoos can leave a film on the rubies, dulling their shine over time. The posts could also bend or poke you uncomfortably while you sleep.
Is the 6mm post on the Cherry Blossom Ruby Studs long enough for thicker earlobes?
A 6mm post is a standard length for most earlobes, but it can feel snug if your lobes are on the thicker side. We suggest measuring a post from a pair of your own earrings that fits you comfortably to see how it compares.
