Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the earrings made from?

The earrings are crafted in 14K yellow gold. The center stones are natural, color-treated round rubies set with a 3-prong setting, and round diamonds are set around them with a prong setting.

How much diamond weight do the earrings carry?

Together the pair carries 12 round diamonds totaling 0.05 ct, with H-I color and I1-I2 clarity. This is the total across both earrings, not the weight of a single stone.

How do the earrings fasten?

Each earring closes with a push back, a simple friction fastening that sits behind the earlobe. This is a standard fastening for stud-style earrings.

Are the rubies natural or lab-grown?

The rubies are natural stones that have been color treated, and are round in shape. Ruby is corundum, a mineral second in hardness only to diamond, which helps it hold its polish over time.
