Ear studs in heart design with sapphires and diamonds

The ear studs have an appealing heart shape, which is emphasized by an exclusive stone setting. The two earrings are set with 38 diamonds of 0.10 ct (total) and 12 sapphires of 0.35 ct (total). The abbreviation ct stands for carat. It is the unit of measurement for the weight of gems. Our gemstones are subject to strict quality control and meet the highest international standards. They are individually tested by hand. Sapphires are among the most precious gems: The sapphire belongs to the class of corundum. These are minerals to which the most valuable gems are assigned. The meaning of the word gives a clear indication of one of the most important characteristics of the sapphire: its colour. The term sapphire is Greek and means "blue". In fact, the sapphire is most numerous in blue. The shades of blue vary from light blue to deep blue. The rhodium-plated earrings have a beautiful shine: The base of the earrings is made of 18ct white gold. The white gold has been rhodium-plated, which means that it has been given a layer of rhodium. This surface treatment is beneficial for the ear studs in two ways: they receive a silvery shine and have an abrasion protection - influences from the outside can therefore affect them less.
