9CT GOLD BUTTON STUDS
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Ah yes. The 9ct Gold button stud earring.
The unsung heroine of the jewellery box. The sensible shoe of the ear world. The one that never lets you down, never snags your jumper, and never tries to reinvent itself during a midlife crisis.
If you love a classic ball stud but want something just slightly more refined — slightly flatter, slightly sleeker, slightly more “I have my life together” — then allow me to present the button stud.
Think of it as the sophisticated cousin of the ball. Same polished simplicity. Just a little more modern. A little more deliberate. Less “teenage first piercing”, more “confident adult who owns real glassware”.
✨ Sizes for Every Mood
These beauties come in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8mm diameters.
Subtle? Go 3mm.
Office power move? 5mm.
Bold but still tasteful? 8mm.
All finished in glowing 9ct Gold and secured with trusty butterfly fastenings, because we like our jewellery to stay put while we conquer the day.
They arrive in a rather snazzy Christine Alexander-branded gift box, because presentation matters. Even if you’re buying them for yourself (which I fully endorse).
💛 A Little Gold History (Because We’re Not Basic)
In medieval times, Gold wasn’t just considered beautiful — it was thought to be good for your health. The logic being: something this rare and radiant must surely possess magical benefits.
And honestly? They weren’t entirely wrong. Gold still symbolises wealth, luxury, prosperity and power. It has never gone out of style. Not once. Show me another trend that’s managed that.
Fun fact: over 98% of all the Gold ever mined is still in circulation today. Gold is endlessly recyclable. It gets melted down, sold as bullion, reworked, reborn.
Which means — and I say this with a straight face — the Gold in your earrings could once have been in a royal treasure chest. Or a Victorian brooch. Or possibly a pirate’s hoard.
You’re basically wearing history. Casually.
