The border of each shamrock isn't smooth—it's finished with a fine, beaded texture called milgrain. It's an old-school detail that frames the cluster of pavé-set stones inside and gives the whole earring a bit more substance and a finished look.
This is a pair of solid gold stud earrings in a four-leaf clover shape. Each earring is pavé-set with sixteen small, round Cubic Zirconia stones that cover the entire surface. The gold itself is polished to a bright shine, contrasting the beaded milgrain edge. They come with a standard post and a butterfly back, which is also shaped like a tiny clover.
We make these from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. That’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means they’re durable enough for daily wear and won't tarnish or discolour your skin. It's also a good choice if you have sensitive ears. The stones are Cubic Zirconia, which are cut to catch the light from every angle and are hard enough to stand up to daily life without scratching or clouding over time.
- Material: 14K Solid Yellow Gold
- Stone: Cubic Zirconia
- Closure: Post with butterfly back
- Sold as: A pair
People often choose this earring because it hits a sweet spot. It has more presence than a simple solitaire stud, but it’s still small and light enough for constant wear. The full coverage of stones gives you a lot of sparkle without the size or weight of a larger earring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the back of the Gleaming Shamrock Earring have a clover shape?
The butterfly back is shaped like a clover to match the earring front. It's a small detail we like to include. Functionally, it works just like a standard butterfly back to provide a secure fit, but it makes the whole piece of jewellery feel a little more considered and complete.
Can I sleep or shower in my 14K gold shamrock earrings?
Yes, you can shower in them. Solid 14K gold won't be damaged by water or soap. We do recommend taking them out before you sleep, though. The posts can poke you, and over time, catching them on pillows or blankets can loosen the settings on the small pavé stones.
How do the Gleaming Shamrock Earrings sit on the earlobe, especially if I have multiple piercings?
These studs are designed to sit flat and centred on the earlobe. They're a good size for a main piercing, but because they don't have a lot of extra height or width, they also fit nicely in a second or third piercing without crowding other jewellery.
