Green, White, Green, White: A Very Good Pattern

Some huggies stick to diamonds alone. These earrings introduce a bit of colour, and they do it with rhythm: emerald, diamond, emerald, diamond, all the way around, set in warm 18ct yellow gold.

It's a close-fitting classic with a little more going on, and it's all in the details.

A Rhythm of Colour and Sparkle

Across the pair, the earrings are set with eight natural round brilliant cut emeralds, totalling 0.20ct, alternating with eight natural round brilliant cut diamonds, totalling 0.21ct, graded G colour and SI1 clarity. G colour keeps the diamonds bright and clean to the eye, and SI1 clarity means any natural inclusions are small enough that you'd need a jeweller's magnifying tool to go looking for them.

The emeralds bring a deep, lush green, and the diamonds bring bright white flashes in between. Neither one competes. They simply take turns.

Every stone is carcelated set, with each one held in its own little frame. Light travels around and through each stone, adding extra life and dimension to the whole design.

The Feeling of Wearing Them

Huggies are made to sit close to the ear, and these do that beautifully, with a comfortable, snug fit you'll quickly forget about. What you won't forget is the glimpse of green when you turn your head, followed by a flicker of diamond, then green again.

It's a small bit of colour that makes a big difference to how an outfit feels, and to how you do.

Crafted in 18ct Yellow Gold

18ct yellow gold has a rich, warm glow that makes emerald green look even more luscious. It's the classic partner for green gemstones, adding depth and warmth while the diamonds keep the whole design bright and fresh.

When to Wear Them

Every day, with a few extra points for style. They're polished enough for the office, pretty enough for dinner, and easy enough to wear to a weekend market. They also look wonderful stacked with other earrings.

They make a lovely gift for anyone born in May, when emerald is the birthstone, or for someone who has always loved green.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does carcelated set mean?

Each stone sits within its own small caged frame, allowing light to pass around and through the stone for extra dimension and sparkle.

What does alternate mean here?

The emeralds and diamonds are set in an alternating pattern, so green and white stones take turns around each earring.

How should I look after emerald earrings?
