9ct Gold Stud Earrings

Yes — 9ct gold is solid, real gold. It's made up of 37.5% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength and durability, which is why you'll see the 375 stamp on some of our pieces. It's the most popular gold purity in the UK because it strikes the perfect balance between a beautiful gold colour and everyday wearability. All our gold that is over the required weight is hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office.

9ct gold is solid gold all the way through — the colour won't wear off or fade because the gold is part of the metal itself. Gold-plated jewellery has a thin layer of gold over a base metal, which can wear away over time with regular use. Every pair of studs in this collection is solid 9ct gold, so they'll keep their colour and quality for years to come.

9ct gold is one of the best choices for sensitive ears. It's naturally hypoallergenic and doesn't contain nickel, which is the most common cause of earring-related irritation. If you've struggled with cheaper metals in the past, solid gold studs are well worth the step up.

9ct gold is far more resistant to tarnishing than silver. Over time it can lose a little of its shine, but it won't darken or discolour the way silver does. A quick wipe with a soft cloth after wearing is all you need to keep them looking their best. Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your earrings and take them out before swimming in chlorinated water.

Our studs are measured by their diameter - the distance from one side to the other of the actual stud part of the earring (excluding the pin and back). This gives a sense of the size of the stud in your ear.

See our Size Guide on the product page to see different size studs on a model to give an idea of what each size will look like

Stud earrings are one of the most popular choices for first-time piercings. They sit flat against the ear, won't snag on clothing or hair, and are comfortable to sleep in. We'd recommend waiting until your piercing is fully healed (typically 6–8 weeks for lobes) before switching from the jewellery your piercer fitted. Once healed, a small sterling silver stud is an ideal first pair.
