The red enamel in these studs is completely opaque—a solid block of colour set inside a polished gold frame. It's a clean, graphic shape that doesn't rely on any sparkle to get noticed.
You're looking at a pair of small heart-shaped studs. The face of each heart is filled with a solid, bright red enamel, and a thin, polished 14K gold rim frames the colour. One earring is shown from the side, so you can see the straight post and the four-lobed butterfly back that secures it. The gold is high-polish, which means it reflects a clean line of light along the edges.
These are made from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. 14K gold is a mix of 58.3% pure gold with other metals, which means it’s strong enough for daily wear without bending easily. It also means the gold colour won't rub off over time. The red is enamel, which is powdered glass that's been fused to the gold with heat. This process creates a hard, durable surface whose colour is permanent and won't chip or fade.
- Material: 14K Solid Gold, Enamel
- Dimensions: 4 mm
- Sold as: A pair
Most people choose these studs for the colour. They're a simple way to wear a spot of bright, saturated red without any gemstones. At just 4 mm, they're small enough to sit flat and work well in a second or third piercing, or just as a minimal primary earring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the red enamel on the Love Stud Earrings fade or scratch?
The enamel will not fade, as the colour is fused into the material itself. It's a very hard surface, similar to glass, so it's resistant to everyday scratches. However, like any fine jewellery, it's best to avoid direct contact with abrasive surfaces to keep the finish looking new.
Can I wear my 14K gold Love Stud Earrings in the shower or while I sleep?
Yes, you can wear them in the shower and while sleeping. Solid 14K gold doesn't tarnish from water, and the enamel is waterproof. They're small enough that they shouldn't be uncomfortable to sleep in, but you should always check that the butterfly backs are secure.
Are the 4 mm Love Stud Earrings a good size for a cartilage piercing?
Yes, at 4 mm wide, these studs are a great size for many cartilage piercings, including the helix or tragus. Their flat profile helps prevent them from catching on hair or clothing. Just make sure the standard post length is appropriate for your specific piercing's thickness.
