The gold setting doesn't just hold the sapphire; it wraps around it, creating a soft, puffy frame that gives the whole earring a friendly, three-dimensional shape. It’s a heart inside another heart.

You're looking at a pair of solid gold stud earrings. Each one features a heart-cut blue sapphire held inside a custom-fit gold setting that perfectly mirrors its shape. The stone is secured by three small, polished beads of gold—two on the upper curves and one at the point. The gold itself is thick and rounded, catching the light with a soft gleam. The back is a standard butterfly clutch.

We make these from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed for durability. This means the colour won't rub off or fade, and the post is strong enough for daily wear. For the centre, you can choose a man-made sapphire—which is chemically identical to a natural one but flawless—or a mined, natural stone. Sapphire is exceptionally hard, which means it’s very difficult to scratch or chip as you go about your day.

Most heart studs are just a stone with tiny prongs. People choose this one when they want something with more presence and a softer look. The substantial gold border makes the earring feel more like a small sculpture and really makes the deep blue of the sapphire stand out.
