Gold Earrings

Gold Earrings at By Charlotte

Gold earrings are easy to wear every day, whether you prefer something simple or a pair that makes more of a statement. Designed in Sydney, our collection includes 18k gold vermeil and 14k solid gold styles to suit different looks and occasions.

Should I choose vermeil or solid gold earrings?

Gold vermeil gives you the warmth of 18k gold over sterling silver at a lower price, which makes it a lovely way to try a new shape. 14k solid gold is gold throughout, so it suits the pair you plan to wear every single day. A good plan is to start with 18k gold vermeil earrings and add solid gold once you know which shapes you reach for.

What are the best gold earrings for everyday wear?

Choose something small and secure. The Starlight Earrings and Pure Light Studs are light enough to forget, the Infinite Horizon gold hoops add a clean curve, and the Lover gold vermeil hoops open into a wider curve, and the Live in Peace Hoop Earrings finish an outfit without trying hard. For something even finer, our dainty earrings sit close to the lobe.

How do I style gold earrings with pearls?

Gold and pearls work well together. Pair pearl studs with gold hoops for everyday wear, or let pearl drop earrings take centre stage for an evening out. Our Moments in Time pearl drop earrings are a lovely choice when you want a little extra detail.

Gold Earrings FAQs

Is every pair of gold earrings solid gold?

Our gold earrings are mostly gold vermeil, which is 18k gold over sterling silver. For gold throughout, choose 14k solid gold, or look for the handful of 18k solid gold designs in our earrings range.

What size gold hoop earrings should I choose?

Huggies hug the lobe and suit everyday wear, small hoops sit just below it and medium hoops frame the jaw. Pick the size by how much attention you want, and remember that a thicker hoop reads bolder than a thin one at the same width.

How do I keep gold earrings looking bright?

Put earrings in after perfume and hairspray, and wipe them with a soft cloth when you take them out. Keep vermeil away from water, then slip each pair into a soft pouch and store it somewhere dry.

Can I buy a single gold earring?

Yes. Many of our solid gold styles are sold as single earrings, with left and right options for some designs, which makes it easy to build a stack with flat back earrings and buy only what you need. Pairs in the earrings sale are another way to try a new shape for less.
