A pair of men's stud earrings in 14K white gold, each set with a large round lab-grown diamond held by four prongs. A single-stone stud with no accent stones, bold and masculine.
Tulip prongs and the flower back plate
Four prongs grow straight out of the top of the post and flare open around the stone, with no cup beneath it, so the lower part of the diamond is visible from the side and plenty of light gets in. Four prongs leave as much of the stone exposed as possible, making a large diamond look even bigger and brighter. On the back, an eight-petal openwork flower plate rests on the earlobe to keep the heavier stone upright, with a threaded cage-style screw nut beneath it. The flower sits hidden behind the ear, a detail only the wearer knows.
Worth knowing before you buy
The large stone and open prongs are more exposed to knocks; four prongs grip a big stone at fewer points than six, so have them checked at the shop regularly.
The white rhodium layer on white gold wears over time and needs re-plating to stay bright.
Metal and care
14K white gold is hard and holds the prongs firmly for everyday wear. The open underside of the stone collects skin oil, so clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, including the holes in the flower plate. Tighten the nut just enough and remove the studs for swimming or sport.
