A pair of 14K gold stud earrings set with lab-grown emeralds, each stone held in a simple setting with no additional detail around it. The green stays consistent across the surface, catching light as a single clear point rather than scattering it. Grown rather than mined, the emeralds share the same crystal structure and optical properties as their natural counterparts — emerald is beryl, the same mineral as aquamarine, coloured green instead of blue by chromium rather than iron. Small internal inclusions, sometimes called a stone's "garden," are typical of the mineral and don't count against it.
The stud itself is 14K solid gold, set on a titanium post — gold for its stable colour over time, titanium for its strength and comfort against the skin. The post is 1.2mm, using a push-in pin rather than a screw back: there are no threads to wear down or cross, which is the more common failure point in screw-style posts, and it's simpler to put on and take off. The back sits flat against the ear, which also makes them comfortable to sleep in.
What to Expect
Every piece we make uses solid 14K gold, 925 silver, or titanium. Gemstones are either lab-grown or natural, and every product page states which, along with the specific mineral's hardness. Across all of it, some light scratching, dulling, or colour change over time is normal. It doesn't mean something's wrong; it means the piece is actually being worn.
Daily Rules
Last on, first off. Put jewelry on after skincare, perfume, and styling products, and take it off before washing your hands, showering, swimming, cleaning, or sleeping — earrings and rings left in overnight are the usual exception, though it's still worth taking them off periodically to clean underneath. Residue from soap, lotion, and skincare builds up in settings, clasps, and posts over time, and it's one of the most common reasons pieces lose their shine.
What to Avoid
Chlorine, bleach, household cleaners, and high-alcohol sanitisers are corrosive to gold alloys and worth avoiding altogether — pools, cleaning products, and hand sanitiser all count. Skip home remedies like toothpaste and baking soda too; both are abrasive enough to scratch a polished surface. High heat and steam are best avoided, especially with gemstone pieces, since heat and sudden temperature changes affect some stones more than others.
If Your Piece Has Gemstones
Not all stones behave the same way. Hardness varies significantly across our collection — from around 5.5 on the Mohs scale for opal up to 10 for diamond — so a cleaning method that's safe for one stone can damage another. Ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips work for some stones and damage others; check the specific product page, or ask us, before using either. If a setting feels loose or catches on fabric, stop wearing the piece and have it checked before a stone is lost.
Storage
Store each piece separately, with clasps or posts fastened, in a pouch or a lined box rather than loose in a drawer. Chains and bracelets in particular tangle with each other and can scratch against harder stones or settings. When travelling, keep jewelry in a dedicated case rather than loose in a bag.
When to Have It Serviced
Bring a piece in if a clasp feels loose, a prong feels sharp or uneven, a chain kinks or looks stretched, a band has thinned, or a setting shows any movement. Catching these early is what keeps a repair simple rather than urgent.
The titanium post is 1.2mm.
