18CT WHITE GOLD MARQUISE GARNET & DIAMOND STUDS
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Behold, the crown jewels for your ears – a dazzling pair of 18ct White Gold Garnet and Diamond earrings. These studs are not playing it subtly; each one rocks a .73ct natural Garnet, and trust me, these marquise-cut gems at just over 8mmx4mm are like little drops of blood-red magic dangling from your lobes. Your ears will thank you later.
But wait, there's more! Surrounding these Garnet gems are Diamonds doing their best impression of stars twinkling in the night sky. A total of .15cts of brilliance to complement that rich Garnet glow. The length of these stunners? A perfect 10mm. And let's not forget the faultless 18ct White Gold butterfly backs – because we believe in keeping the bling where it belongs.
These earrings are not just accessories; they're an event. Perfect for any occasion, they're like the Audrey Hepburn of earrings – timeless, elegant, and always in style. Feeling extra? There's a matching pendant available, and if Garnet isn't your jam, we can whip up this same design in Amethyst, Peridot, or Blue Topaz. Options, darling.
Now, about that Layaway plan – it's like a gem savings account. No fees, no application forms, just a 25-50% deposit, and you've got up to six months to pay the rest. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly – pick the rhythm that suits your style. Your order will be on its way to you as soon as that bling balance hits zero. Flexibility is the name of the game, and PayPal is the gatekeeper until you're all paid up. Check my Policies page for the juicy details.
Garnet, the MVP of gemstones, is the birthstone for January babies. It plays nice with both Aquarius and Leo star signs and is the top choice for the 2nd and 6th wedding anniversaries. Fun fact: there are around 30 different Garnet gems, and these studs showcase the Almandine variety.
And let's talk cut – the marquise or navette cut isn't just a fancy name. It's the magician of cuts, making stones appear larger than life. Those points at either end? They're not just there for show; they hide inclusions like a pro. Symmetry is the marquise's BFF, but if you're going big, consider a higher-grade colour to keep those points from looking too shady.
Now, about White Gold – it's not just an alloy; it's the cool kid on the precious metal block. An alloy of Gold with a splash of white metal (think nickel, Silver, or Palladium), White Gold has a spectrum of hues from pale yellow to borderline rose. The alloys matter, and my go-to mix is Gold–Palladium–Silver for that pristine look. But hey, preloved or vintage White Gold is a mystery mix, so I play it safe and give it a Rhodium bath to minimize any risk. And for the newbies, Rhodium plating is the secret sauce to keep that White Gold shine intact. Pro tip: avoid swimming in your bling to keep it dazzling longer. Need a touch-up? Re-plating is a breeze.
Now go ahead, let those Garnet and Diamond wonders grace your ears – it's like a red carpet moment for your lobes! 💎✨
