How do I wear cluster studs?

These earrings are designed to sit directly on the ear lobe using a post fitting, making them suitable for daily wear or evening events. Their compact silhouette keeps the focus on the central stone and its surrounding cluster without hanging low.

Are these earrings made of solid gold?

The listings feature pieces constructed from solid 9ct, 14ct, and 18ct yellow or white gold, as well as platinum. Each metal type contributes a distinct colour and weight to the overall mount.

How can I tell the period?

Dating relies on stylistic clues, such as the floral gold motifs typical of the Victorian era or the clean lines of mid-century modern designs. Materials like platinum combined with diamond indicate specific decades such as the 1930s or 1950s.

What stones are used?

Common stones include diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, garnets, pearls, and aquamarines, often combined in a single cluster. Coloured gemstones take the centre position while diamonds frequently form the surrounding border.
