Small, exquisite, indispensable.

Gold stud earrings are the most discreet form of ear jewelry—small, lightweight, and elegantly understated. At Splendido Jewelry, you will find zirconia stud earrings, diamond stud earrings, and classic gold ball studs made of 585 gold (14 karat), crafted according to the Italian goldsmithing tradition. Our zirconia stud earrings combine the brilliant shine of sparkling stones with the warm tone of gold, which harmoniously complements any look.

Why 585 gold stud earrings?

Gold stud earrings are often worn every day—for years, sometimes for decades. That is why material and craftsmanship matter more than with any other piece of jewelry. 585 gold is skin-friendly, even for sensitive earlobes, has a significantly higher gold content than inexpensive 333 alloys, and does not discolor. With a gold content of 58.5%, gold stud earrings for women are also suitable for allergy sufferers.

The zirconia stud earring style is particularly popular: synthetically grown zirconia stones visually rival diamonds at a fraction of the price—ideal for everyday sparkle without high acquisition costs.

Frequently asked questions about gold stud earrings

Are zirconia stud earrings also suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes, 585 gold is significantly more skin-friendly than 333 gold. The post is made of the same alloy, so no nickel comes into contact with the skin. The zirconia stone itself is also chemically neutral and allergy-friendly.

How does zirconia differ from a diamond?
Zirconia is synthetically produced and has a refractive index of 2.15, while a diamond has a refractive index of 2.42. They are almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. However, the price difference is 10 to 50 times greater. Zirconia stud earrings are suitable as an everyday accessory or gift.

Do gold stud earrings stay secure during sports?
Our gold stud earrings come with a ball-and-socket butterfly back that stays secure during normal wear. For particularly valuable pieces, we also recommend Alpa safety-back pairs. In general, remove them during sports, especially combat sports.

How should I care for women's gold stud earrings?
Clean them with mild dish soap, a soft toothbrush, and lukewarm water. With zirconia studs, make sure the setting remains secure. If worn daily, have them inspected by a goldsmith once a year.
