Gold earrings in South Africa

Part of the gold jewellery collection at Aria Jewellery. Solid 9ct and 18ct gold earrings, hallmarked and never plated, made in Cape Town and delivered nationwide.

Sixty-one pairs, from 4mm gold studs at R1,295 to 18ct gold tanzanite studs at R81,880. Every pair is solid gold, which matters more on earrings than on anything else you own, because plated posts sit against skin all day and are the most common cause of irritation.

Shop by style: studs, hoops, huggies or drops.

Gold earring prices by style

Prices rise with gold weight, so a 50mm hoop costs several times a 15mm one in the same design.

Choosing a hoop size

Hoop diameter changes the look far more than the metal does. We make them from 10mm to 60mm.

If you are buying a first pair of gold hoops, 15mm to 20mm is the size most people wear most often.

Studs, huggies and drops

Huggies are the most practical earring we sell. They hinge shut rather than relying on a butterfly back, which is the part people lose.

9ct or 18ct, and what the hallmark means

Most of this collection is 9ct, which is the right choice for earrings worn daily. The 18ct pieces here are the tanzanite settings, where colour matters more than hardness.

Wearing and caring for gold earrings

Gold does not tarnish. Earrings pick up a film of skin oil, hairspray and perfume faster than any other piece, because they sit near your hairline. Warm water, mild soap, a soft brush and a dry cloth clears it.

Clean the posts and backs as well as the fronts. That is where build up actually causes problems, and it takes ten seconds.

Take hoops out for the gym and for sleeping, unless they are flat backs or huggies, which are designed to stay in. A hoop caught in bedding or a jumper is the most common way earrings bend.

Store them in pairs rather than loose. Butterfly backs are the single most lost part of any earring.
