SILVER CUBIC ZIRCONIA HEART STUDS

Well, these aren't exactly the earrings you buy when you're trying to disappear quietly into the background, are they?

Here we have a stunning pair of 7mm heart-shaped Cubic Zirconia stud earrings, and I absolutely adore them. Measuring a generous 7mm in diameter, these are proper little attention-seekers, featuring huge, clear, beautifully faceted Cubic Zirconia hearts. They catch the light magnificently, throwing sparkle in all directions and generally behaving as though someone has just announced they are the stars of the evening.

The faceted heart cut is particularly lovely because you get all the romantic symbolism of a heart without the earrings becoming twee. The clean, clear Cubic Zirconia gives you that bright, Diamond-like sparkle, while the generous 7mm size makes them substantial enough to be noticed. These are heart stud earrings for pierced ears, secured with a traditional butterfly fastening at the back, so they're straightforward to put on and comfortable to wear.

Wear them with a little black dress and let them do the talking; pair them with jeans and a T-shirt when you have decided that your everyday wardrobe needs significantly more glamour, or give them to someone you love because apparently flowers die and chocolates mysteriously disappear, but jewellery is a considerably more sensible expression of affection.

Cubic Zirconia – All the Sparkle, None of the Diamond Drama

Cubic Zirconia (CZ) has become one of the best-known Diamond alternatives in jewellery, and for good reason. It is a laboratory-created gemstone with impressive clarity and brilliance, allowing jewellers to create wonderfully bright, sparkly pieces without the rarity and price associated with natural Diamonds. CZ is not a Diamond and shouldn't be described as one, but it can provide a beautifully convincing Diamond-like appearance at a much more accessible price point.

I particularly like Cubic Zirconia for pieces such as these because it allows me to concentrate on what jewellery is supposed to do: sparkle, make you feel fabulous, and occasionally cause someone to ask where you got it.

There is also a broader conversation around Diamond sourcing, transparency and the history of conflict Diamonds. The Kimberley Process was introduced to help prevent rough Diamonds associated with conflict from entering the legitimate international Diamond trade, although concerns have continued over how effectively the system addresses modern supply-chain issues. For some customers, choosing a Diamond alternative such as Cubic Zirconia is therefore an appealing way of enjoying the look of sparkling gemstone jewellery without purchasing a natural Diamond.

And frankly, sometimes you simply want a gigantic sparkly heart in your ears without needing to take out a mortgage.

Why a Heart?

The heart symbol has had a surprisingly complicated life considering its current job description is essentially romantic things and Valentine's cards.

The familiar indented red heart symbol has been associated with the playing-card suit of hearts since around the late fifteenth century, while its association with romantic love became increasingly widespread from the nineteenth century onwards. Since then, the heart has appeared everywhere from Valentine's cards and chocolates to jewellery, popular culture and even video games, where hearts have famously represented health and lives.

So these earrings are doing something rather clever. They combine a symbol that has been used for centuries with a wonderfully modern, intensely sparkly gemstone and turn the whole thing into a pair of earrings that you can actually wear.

And unlike a Valentine's Day card, you don't have to throw them away after three weeks.

Jewellery Care – Keep Those Hearts Sparkling

Cubic Zirconia is a durable gemstone, but like any jewellery, it will appreciate being treated with a little respect. I recommend removing your earrings before swimming, bathing, showering, exercising or sleeping, and keeping them away from perfume, hairspray, creams, cosmetics, chlorine and household cleaning products. All of these things can build up on jewellery and gradually dull that lovely bright sparkle.

When you're not wearing them, store your earrings somewhere clean and dry, ideally in a jewellery box or pouch and separately from harder jewellery that could scratch the surfaces. To clean them, use a soft cloth and gentle jewellery cleaner suitable for the metal and stones. Avoid abrasive cleaners and anything involving enthusiastic scrubbing, because your jewellery is not a kitchen worktop.

A little regular care will help keep these 7mm heart Cubic Zirconia earrings looking bright, clear and wonderfully sparkly.
