Gold Earrings in Solid 9ct, 14ct and 18ct Gold
Gold earrings at Argent & Asher are made in solid 9ct, 14ct or 18ct gold throughout. Diamond studs and huggies, solid gold hoops, ear chains and drop earrings: each piece made to order in our London atelier. Earrings designed to be worn every day and kept for years.
Diamond Studs, Huggie Earrings and Ear Chains
The Petite Bezel Set Diamond Stud is the starting point: a single natural diamond bezel-set in solid gold. For something with more visual presence, the Round Illusion Diamond Studs use an illusion setting to give a diamond stud a larger footprint than the stone itself. The Princess Illusions Diamond Studs give the same effect with a princess-cut format. For something that follows the shape of the ear, the Diamond Ear Climber runs a line of natural diamonds along the curve of the ear in solid gold.
Huggie earrings sit close to the lobe. The Petite Diamond Huggie sets natural diamonds in a fine solid gold hoop. The Essential Diamond Huggies give fuller diamond coverage in a slightly larger profile. For an ear chain, the Diamond Ear Chain and Diamond Huggie Ear Chain each link a lobe piercing to a second point higher on the ear with a diamond-set chain in solid gold. The Ear Jacket Earrings feature a pear-cut diamond stud for the lobe worn together with a fan of marquise diamonds that sits below, and can also be worn as the stud alone.
Gold Hoops, Drop Earrings and Statement Pieces
The gold hoop earrings in this collection are solid gold, not hollow tube hoops. The 20mm Chunky Gold Hoops are a plain solid gold hoop with a substantial gauge that holds its circular shape. The 15mm Chunky Gold Hoops give the same construction in a slightly smaller diameter. Both wear well as an everyday piece or as the foundation of a curated ear.
The Diamond Drop Earrings and Huggie Drop Earrings each give diamond movement in solid gold, suited to occasions when you want the earring to be the centrepiece. The Unconditional Love Earrings give a heart motif set with natural diamonds in solid gold. The full gold earrings range extends across 9ct, 14ct and 18ct gold. Pair with gold bracelets or gold necklaces for a complete solid gold look.
Every gold earring at Argent & Asher is solid gold throughout. The diamond pieces use natural diamonds only. No plating, no hollow tubes, no laboratory-grown stones. Made to order in our London atelier. Explore gold necklaces, gold bracelets and gemstone jewellery in the same fine gold standard.
9ct, 14ct or 18ct Gold Earrings: Which to Choose
All gold earrings at Argent & Asher are made in solid 9ct, 14ct or 18ct gold. The difference is the percentage of pure gold in the alloy.
9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold. It is the hardest and most scratch-resistant of the three, which makes it well suited to earrings worn every day: diamond studs, huggie earrings and ear chains that are put on and taken off regularly.
14ct gold contains 58.5% pure gold. It sits between 9ct and 18ct in both gold content and colour, with a warmer appearance than 9ct and better durability than 18ct. A good choice when colour richness matters but durability is still a priority.
18ct gold contains 75% pure gold. It has the deepest, warmest colour of the three and is the most precious by gold content. It is softer than 9ct and 14ct, which makes it better suited to occasional-wear or statement pieces than everyday earrings. For the richest possible colour, it is the right choice.
For everyday diamond huggies or a first pair of diamond studs, 9ct or 14ct will wear better over time. For occasions and statement pieces where the gold colour is part of the decision, 18ct gives the deepest result.
Studs, Hoops, Huggies and Ear Chains: How to Choose
The earring format you choose changes how the ear reads. Studs sit flush and let the stone do the work. The Petite Bezel Set Diamond Stud, Round Illusion Diamond Studs and Princess Illusions Diamond Studs each achieve the same clean result in different settings and stone sizes.
Huggie earrings sit close to the lobe rather than hanging from it. The Petite Diamond Huggie is the smallest and most minimal. The Essential Diamond Huggies give fuller diamond coverage in a slightly larger hoop. Both work as standalone pieces or as part of a curated ear.
Gold hoop earrings in the collection are solid gold, not hollow. The 20mm Chunky Gold Hoops and 15mm Chunky Gold Hoops are plain solid gold with no stones, suited to everyday wear and layering.
An ear chain links a lobe piercing to a second point higher on the ear with a fine chain in solid gold. The Diamond Ear Chain and Diamond Huggie Ear Chain both work this way, with the Huggie version anchored at the lobe by a small diamond huggie rather than a single stud. Both require a standard lobe piercing and a second piercing at the top of the ear.
Building a Curated Ear
A curated ear is built around the lobe, with additional pieces at different heights. The approach is to add pieces incrementally rather than deciding on a final look upfront.
Start with the lobe: a stud in the primary piercing gives the most flexibility to build from. The Petite Bezel Set Diamond Stud and Round Illusion Diamond Studs are both strong foundation pieces. Wear the stud alone, or add a huggie alongside it in a second lobe piercing for more coverage at the lobe before moving higher on the ear.
The Diamond Ear Chain and Diamond Huggie Ear Chain each connect the lobe to a higher point, which replaces the need for a separate second or third stud while creating the most visual movement in the ear.
The Diamond Ear Climber follows the curve of the ear with a line of diamonds in solid gold: a single piece that reads as a considered, architectural look without needing multiple piercings or combinations.
For the most complete version of a curated ear, a pair of Essential Diamond Huggies in both lobes with an ear chain running from one lobe upward is the combination that reads most intentional. The solid gold hoops in the same ear keep the look grounded.
Gold Earrings — Questions & Answers
What is a huggie earring?
A huggie earring is a small hoop designed to sit close to the lobe rather than hang from it. The term huggie comes from the way the hoop hugs the ear. The Petite Diamond Huggie sets a line of natural diamonds in a fine solid gold hoop. The Essential Diamond Huggies give fuller diamond coverage in a slightly larger profile. Both sit neatly against the lobe and suit being worn as a standalone piece or alongside a stud in the same ear.
What is an ear chain?
An ear chain is an earring that links a lobe piercing to a second point higher on the ear by way of a fine chain. The Diamond Ear Chain and Diamond Huggie Ear Chain both use this format, with the chain running from the lobe to the helix or upper ear. They create visual movement across the full height of the ear. Both require a standard lobe piercing and a piercing higher on the ear.
Are the gold hoop earrings solid gold?
The gold hoops in this collection are solid gold throughout, not hollow tube hoops. Solid gold holds its shape and does not dent or deform the way hollow hoops can. The 20mm Chunky Gold Hoops and 15mm Chunky Gold Hoops are both solid gold with no stones.
Are the diamonds in Argent & Asher gold earrings natural?
All diamonds in Argent & Asher gold earrings are natural, mined diamonds. No laboratory-grown diamonds are used anywhere in the collection. The diamond stud earrings, huggie earrings and ear chains all use natural diamonds set in solid gold.
What is the difference between 9ct, 14ct and 18ct gold earrings?
9ct, 14ct and 18ct gold are all solid gold. The difference is the percentage of pure gold in the alloy. 9ct contains 37.5% pure gold, which makes it the hardest and most durable of the three. 14ct contains 58.5% pure gold, giving a warmer colour than 9ct with better durability than 18ct. 18ct contains 75% pure gold and has the richest, warmest colour of the three.
For everyday gold earrings, 9ct or 14ct will hold up better under daily wear. For occasional or statement pieces where the depth of the gold colour matters most, 18ct is the more luxurious choice.
