Diamond Hoop Earrings in 18ct White Gold

Good question, since these grades decide a lot. The 0.37ct is the combined weight of all 38 diamonds across both hoops, set in a fine, even line for a delicate, continuous sparkle. F colour sits near the very top of the colour scale, so the diamonds look bright and white with no yellow tint, especially crisp against the cool white gold. VS stands for very slightly included, near the top of the clarity scale, meaning any natural marks are so tiny you would struggle to spot them even under magnification. In short, these are high quality, white, clean diamonds in a beautifully wearable pair of hoops.

Yes, every diamond in these hoops is a genuine, natural diamond, formed deep in the earth over millions of years, and we tell you that plainly because trust is the heart of fine jewellery. How do experts confirm it? Natural diamonds have particular optical and thermal properties that set them apart from look alikes like cubic zirconia, and we test for these with professional tools. We are also happy to talk you through the grading and provide documentation where relevant, plus a valuation for insurance. So you can wear them with real confidence, knowing exactly what sits on your ears and why it holds its value.

A channel setting holds the diamonds in a row between two smooth walls of metal, rather than with individual claws. Why is that good? Those metal walls protect the edges of each stone, so the diamonds are well guarded against knocks, which makes channel set hoops a brilliant choice for everyday wear. The setting also gives a sleek, smooth finish with no claws to snag on clothing or hair. So you get a clean, modern look and lovely security in one. It is one of the most practical, hard wearing ways to set a line of diamonds, perfect for earrings you want to live in.

These hoops use a hinged closure, where the post swings down and clicks neatly into place behind the ear, holding the hoop closed securely. So they feel safe and comfortable for all day wear, with no fiddly butterfly backs to lose. The smooth, snug fit also means they sit close and neat against the ear. Everyone’s ears are a little different though, so if you would like to feel how they sit and close, pop in and try them on. We will make sure the closure clicks firmly and the hoops feel comfortable, so you can wear them with total confidence.

Easy, and the kit is already at home. Soak the earrings for ten minutes in warm water with one drop of dishwashing liquid, then gently brush along the diamonds with a soft toothbrush to lift the film of skin oil and product that dulls sparkle. Rinse, but pop the plug in first, since small earrings vanish down drains fast, then pat dry with a soft cloth. Do this every fortnight, and pop them on after your beauty routine. One white gold tip, the bright finish comes from a thin rhodium plating that softens over years, so bring them in now and then for a re plate and polish.
