14k Yellow Gold Diamond Cross Stud Earrings

About this piece

These 14k yellow gold stud earrings are shaped as a rounded-corner cross with a single bezel-set cubic zirconia at the center, secured by a post-and-pushback closure. The cross face is polished to a high shine across its squared, slightly domed arms, and the profile — visible in the photos — shows a substantial, architectural depth that reads more sculptural than flat against the ear.

The cubic zirconia is lab-created and set flush at the heart of the cross, drawing the eye to the center without competing with the geometry of the gold. The earrings sit close to the lobe, the compact footprint keeping them appropriate from a morning meeting through an evening out.

They wear equally well alone as an understated everyday pair or alongside other small gold studs for a collected, layered look. The polished gold surface is easy to keep bright with a soft cloth; the pushback closure holds securely through daily wear.
