The highlight on these isn't a single point of light. It's a soft curve that moves as you do, following the rounded edge of the circle. They’re simple, but they have a constant, quiet gleam from any angle, which is something a flat stud just can't do.

This is a pair of stud earrings, each shaped like a perfect, thick-walled circle. Think of a small, polished gold washer. The surface is completely smooth and highly polished, so the light catches on the curved profile rather than a flat face. They're shown here on a reflective surface that mirrors back their simple, clean geometry. There are no stones, no texture, just the pure circular form.

We make these from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. Your earrings are 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which is a good balance for jewellery you'll wear all the time. The solid gold means the colour is consistent all the way through, so it will never flake or rub off. It also means they're very unlikely to cause irritation for sensitive ears, and you won't have to worry about them tarnishing.

• Material: 14K Solid Gold
• Sold as: A pair

People choose these when they want a simple stud but are tired of a basic ball or dot. The open centre makes them feel lighter and a little more considered than a solid disc, without adding any real complexity. They're a classic shape you can just put in and forget about.
