10k Gold Earrings

10k gold earrings, sturdy solid gold

These 10k gold earrings offer solid gold at the gentlest cost in the range. The selection of gold earrings counts 45 designs at 417 parts per thousand, or 41.7% pure gold. The purity is the hardest of the three: it stands up best to scratches and knocks.

Why choose 10k gold earrings?

• Solid gold, gold all the way through, at the gentlest cost of the three purities.
• The hardest alloy: suited to a jewel you touch often.
• Round studs of 8, 9 and 10 mm and solitaires of 5, 6 and 6.5 mm.
• Square, Lily stud, oval and horseshoe designs, and drops.
• VVS1 moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond.

10k gold and 9ct gold: what the figures say

417 parts per thousand against 375

9ct gold is 375 parts per thousand. 10k gold is 417: it contains a little more gold. 9ct gold earrings, common in jewellers' shops, remain a hard alloy; 10k offers a little more gold in a comparable spirit. The guide to jewellery hallmarks explains how to read these purities.

A slightly paler shade

The lower the purity, the less rich the colour. 10k therefore has a slightly paler shade than 18k. The colour comes from the alloy: yellow gold earrings, or white gold depending on the design. White gold earrings and rose gold earrings are chosen on the product page.

Choosing your pair well

A discreet pair

Small gold earrings are chosen as an 8 mm stud or a 5 mm solitaire. For more presence, move up to 10 mm or to round or square drops.

For women, but also for men

The choice of gold earrings for women is wide, and the studs also suit gold earrings for men. Our guide to the men's diamond earring answers the common questions.

A set in the same purity

A 10k gold ring or a 10k gold pendant completes the pair.

10k compared with 14k and 18k

For the same design, 10k costs less than 14k. The 14k gold earrings offer more colour, and the 18k gold earrings the richest shade.

The stones

Moissanite VVS1 passes the classic diamond tester; an electrical tester tells it apart from a diamond. The lab-grown diamond is a real diamond; the natural diamond is the rarest.
