The black enamel is set completely flush with the gold border, creating a single, smooth surface. When the light hits it, you see the reflection move across the whole earring at once, not just the metal. It’s a very clean, finished look.
This is a pair of small stud earrings shaped like a four-leaf clover. Each leaf is a perfect semi-circle, creating a soft, symmetrical outline. The centre is filled with a disc of solid black enamel, polished to a mirror shine. A tiny, raised bead of 14K gold sits right in the middle. The whole piece is framed by a soft, rounded gold edge that catches the light from any angle.
We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated. 14K is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily wear without bending or denting easily. It’s also a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The black part is hard enamel, which is essentially coloured glass fused to the gold base. This means the deep black colour won't fade or chip away over time. It's a permanent part of the earring.

These are small enough to wear in a second or third piercing without crowding your ear. The flat profile means they won't catch on your hair or clothes, and they’re comfortable enough to forget you’re even wearing them. They're a simple, graphic shape that's instantly recognizable up close.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the black enamel on the Rounded Petite Clover Studs scratch or fade?
No, the enamel should not scratch or fade with normal wear. It's a type of hardened, coloured glass that's fused to the solid gold base, making it very durable and colourfast. Just be sure to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces to keep the polished finish looking its best.
Is it safe to shower or sleep in my 14K gold clover earrings?
Yes, you can shower and sleep in them. Solid 14K gold is durable and won't tarnish from water exposure. However, we recommend taking them out before sleeping just for comfort, as the post could press into your skin. Always dry them thoroughly after they get wet.
How do the Petite Clover Studs fit on a smaller earlobe or in a second piercing?
They fit very well on smaller lobes and in second or third piercings. The 'petite' size means they have a small footprint and sit flat against the skin without looking bulky. Their low profile prevents them from overlapping with other earrings you might be wearing in the same ear.
What happens if I want to return my clover stud earrings?
