A pair of 18K white gold stud earrings, each with a round lab-grown diamond held by six prongs. What sets this design apart is the prong tips: each one splits into a tiny heart, so up close six little gold hearts frame the stone.
Each earring is set with one round lab-grown center diamond, two in the pair.
Heart prongs and a crown setting
Six prongs are spaced evenly around the stone, and each tip is two small claws that meet in a heart, holding the diamond securely while softening the outline compared with plain round prongs. Below, slim upright gold bars join the prongs into a crown-shaped setting, leaving gaps that let light reach the base of the stone and make cleaning easier. On the back, a threaded post with an eight-hole flower-shaped support plate and a branched screw-back holds the earring upright against the lobe so it does not tip forward.
An honest note before you choose
The split in each heart tip is where dust and lotion tend to collect; brush it regularly with a soft brush.
The six raised prongs can catch hair or knitwear when changing clothes.
The branched screw-back is very secure but takes longer to put on and remove than a push-back.
Metal and care
The 18K white gold is finished with rhodium plating that keeps the heart prongs bright white; it wears down over time, and a fresh plating at the shop restores the finish. 18K is softer than 14K, so have the prongs checked every few months. When wearing, screw the back on until the branches rest lightly against the ear without overtightening. Clean with warm, mildly soapy water, brushing between the bars of the crown setting to keep the base of the stone clean and bright.
