Yellow Gold Earrings

For everyday wear, 14 carat (585 fineness) gold earrings are most often recommended. This gold is made of 58.5% pure gold alloyed with metals that add strength, so it is sufficiently resistant to scratches, bending and changes in shape.

18 carat (750 fineness) gold has a richer colour and contains more pure gold, but it is softer and scratches more easily. It may suit more sensitive skin, especially if the alloy contains no nickel.

24 carat pure gold is generally not suitable for everyday earrings, as it is very soft. 10 carat gold is stronger and cheaper, but its colour is less rich, and the higher proportion of other metals may irritate sensitive skin.

Earrings made of gold alloy throughout the entire thickness of the piece keep their original appearance the longest. 14 and 18 carat gold does not wear off the way a thin gold plating does, although the metals in the alloy may cause it to darken slightly or lose some shine over time. With proper cleaning, its appearance can easily be restored.

Gold-plated earrings are less durable. Exposed to water, sweat, cosmetics and friction, a thin gold plating gradually wears away and may reveal the metal underneath. Silver or another metal with a thicker gold layer lasts longer, but it cannot match the durability of real gold earrings.

To keep your earrings looking their best for as long as possible, avoid contact with chlorine, household chemicals, perfume and creams, and clean your jewellery regularly with products designed for it.

The price of gold earrings depends on the gold fineness and weight, the construction, the complexity of the design, and the type, size and quality of any diamonds or other gemstones. Small and minimalist earrings usually cost less, while larger or gemstone-set designs can cost several thousand euros.

In this yellow gold earrings collection, prices start from approximately 419 euros for black diamond earrings. Earrings with white diamonds, rubies, sapphires or emeralds usually cost from a few hundred to more than 2 500 euros, depending on the design and the total gemstone weight.

When assessing the price, it is important to consider not only the appearance but also the gold fineness, item weight, stone characteristics, the reliability of the fastening, the warranty and certificates confirming quality.

Earrings that sit close to the ear, are comfortable and easy to pair every day are especially popular at the moment. Among the most prominent trends are small stud earrings, compact huggie hoops, minimalist diamond earrings and combinations of several earrings.

More expressive designs with organic, flowing or sculptural shapes are also fashionable. Yellow gold earrings with white diamonds complement a classic look, while black diamonds, rubies, sapphires or emeralds suit a more original style.

Mismatched and asymmetric combinations, where earrings of different sizes or designs are worn in one ear, are also popular. Matte, brushed and textured surfaces are on trend, yet classic polished yellow gold remains a versatile and timeless choice.
