FAQs about Gold Earrings

What kind of gold earrings are in style?

Dangles, huggies, drops, and studs are some of the leading gold earring styles. Other popular gold earrings include versatile petite hoops in both white and yellow gold, sparkling diamond hoop earrings, pearl studs and gemstone studs set in gleaming gold. 

White gold and yellow gold earrings are the most popular gold colors across all styles. Luxurious 18k gold earrings are especially popular.  

How much do gold earrings cost?

With such a wide variety of styles available, gold earrings also have a very wide price range. Some of the most affordable options include 14k gold earrings. Higher karat values, like 18k gold earrings, are popular luxury jewelry designs.

The exact cost of gold earrings will depend on the amount of gold in the design, additional gemstones, any diamonds in the piece, and the overall complexity of the earrings. We offer white, rose and yellow gold earrings for any budget and style.  

What's the difference between 14k and 10k gold earrings?

Denoted by the letter "k," karat indicates the purity of gold. 10k gold is an alloy of 41.7% gold and other metals, while 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold. Because 14k gold offers a better balance of price and durability, we don't carry 10k gold earrings. 14k gold earrings are our most popular option, available in a fantastic array of designs and styles for all budgets. We also carry a beautiful range of 18k gold earrings, with no shortage of stylish pairs to choose from.

If you’re shopping for yellow gold earrings, you may notice that higher karat values have a more buttery, yellow appearance over lower karat gold. But the exact look will vary depending on the unique alloying for each pair of earrings.  

Are 14k or 18k gold earrings a good choice?

When it comes to gold earrings, you want to be sure you're choosing pieces that are both durable and beautiful. 18k and 14k gold earrings offer both durability and beauty, with the perfect combination of alloys for long-term wear. Both 14k and 18k white, rose and yellow gold earrings for women and men can be worn daily.

How should I clean gold earrings?

To clean your gold earrings, remove them from your ears and dip them in a jewelry cleaning solution or homemade mixture of gentle dish soap and warm water.

Can I mix and match gold earrings?
