Instead of prongs, the ruby is set deep inside a solid gold heart. This bezel setting gives the earring a smooth, rounded profile from every angle and protects the edges of the gemstone from catching on clothes or hair.

You're looking at a pair of stud earrings. Each one features a heart-shaped ruby set inside a polished yellow gold frame of the same shape. The gold bezel is thick and smooth, creating a clean border around the deep red stone. From the side, you can see the depth of the setting, the straight post, and the matching 14k gold butterfly back that holds it in place.

These are made from solid 14k gold, not plated. The "14k" means they're 58.3% pure gold, which is mixed with alloys for strength. This makes them tough enough for daily wear and means they won't tarnish or discolour. It’s also a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The gemstone is a lab-created ruby, which has the same physical properties as a mined stone but with fewer imperfections and a more consistent, vibrant colour.

People choose these when they want a heart earring that feels solid and smooth. The bezel setting, where the gold wraps completely around the ruby, means there are no prongs to catch on a sweater or get tangled in your hair. It’s a very practical design for something you might not take off.
