The stone in these studs isn't set into the gold; it's held by four prongs in the open centre of the clover. This lets light hit the stone from every angle, front and back, so it really catches your eye as you move.
You're looking at a pair of stud earrings. Each one is a simple outline of a four-leaf clover, made from polished 14-karat gold. Inside this open frame, a single round Cubic Zirconia is held in a four-prong setting. The back shows a standard post and a butterfly backing that’s also shaped into a tiny clover to match the front. The whole piece has a soft, reflective polish.
We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily wear without bending or breaking easily. Solid gold also won't tarnish or discolour, and it’s a great choice if you have sensitive skin. The centre stone is a Cubic Zirconia, a hard, lab-created gem chosen for its bright, clean sparkle.
- Material: 14K Solid Gold, Cubic Zirconia
- Closure: Butterfly back
- Sold as: A pair
People usually choose these for the open design. Unlike solid clover studs, the cut-out shape feels lighter and less traditional. They’re small enough to be subtle, but the sparkle from the floating stone and the recognizable shape get noticed. They sit flat against the lobe and don't feel heavy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 14k gold clover earrings irritate my sensitive ears?
These 14k gold earrings are unlikely to irritate your ears. Solid 14-karat gold is a biocompatible material, which means it rarely causes reactions. It's a standard for new piercings and people with metal sensitivities precisely because it's so stable and pure.
Is it safe to shower or sleep while wearing the gold Clover Earrings?
Yes, you can safely shower and sleep in these earrings. Solid 14k gold is waterproof and doesn't tarnish, so water won't harm it. For sleeping, the butterfly backs hold them securely, but just be mindful that posts can sometimes poke you depending on how you sleep.
How do the Clover Earrings fit in a second or third ear piercing?
The Clover Earrings work very well in second or third piercings. They're small and sit flat against the ear, so they won't crowd other jewellery. The simple, symmetrical shape also looks balanced when placed higher up on the lobe or even in some cartilage piercings.
