Gold Clover Stud Earrings with Black Onyx

Black onyx, cut into a four-lobed clover and held in a plain gold rim that follows every curve of it.

Made from 925 sterling silver under a layer of 18K gold, set with black onyx.

The silver underneath is nickel-free, lead-free and cadmium-free to European standards — hypoallergenic, and comfortable for most sensitive ears.

Black and gold is the one combination that needs no thought between a desk and a dinner table, so these are what you pack when you can take a single pair. The onyx is solid colour with no glitter in it, so the shape stays clean from across a room. They arrive in a free jewellery box with a polishing cloth.
