White Gold Diamond Earrings

Diamonds embody eternity, purity and invincibility, while white gold brings contemporary, luminous elegance. Together, they symbolize timeless commitment and enduring beauty. As the birthstone for April, diamond set in white gold is particularly suited to milestone occasions such as engagements, anniversaries or wedding gifts.

Diamond is the hardest stone with a rating of 10/10 on the Mohs scale, guaranteeing exceptional resistance to scratches and daily wear. Its incomparable brilliance and colourless sparkle harmonize perfectly with the luminosity of rhodium-plated white gold, creating a refined, timeless contrast. Mayuri diamonds, graded VS-VVS and colour G-H minimum, offer purity and fire of rare intensity.

The choice of size depends on your style and intended use. For discreet everyday wear, choose diamonds from 0.20 to 0.50 carat per earring, while for special occasions, opt for 0.70 carat and above. Solitaire studs suit minimalist looks, while drop or halo designs create a more striking visual impact. Mayuri offers diamonds traced from ethical sources in Botswana, South Africa and Canada.

18k white gold (750/1000) is an alloy of 75% pure gold blended with palladium and silver, coated with rhodium plating that gives it its luminous white colour. This rhodium plating reflects and amplifies the diamond's natural brilliance, creating a unified light effect without chromatic distraction. Unlike yellow gold which adds warm tones, white gold preserves the visual purity of white diamonds and adapts to all style preferences.

The solitaire style features a single diamond set on a refined mount, typically in prong setting, which maximizes the stone's visibility and brilliance. This timeless design suits those seeking discreet elegance and purity of line, ideal for everyday or professional wear. White gold diamond solitaire earrings transcend trends and represent an enduring jewellery investment.

Yes, pairing diamond with other precious stones in white gold creates refined, personalized compositions. Classic combinations include:

• Diamond and sapphire for a royal blue and white contrast
• Diamond and emerald for an intense green and luminous palette
• Diamond and ruby for a passionate red and white pairing
• Diamond pavé surrounding a centre stone for a radiant halo effect

Mayuri offers bespoke creations to realize these combinations according to your preferences.

White gold diamond hoops adapt remarkably to all face shapes thanks to the variety of diameters available. For round faces, favour medium diameter hoops (15-25 mm) that visually elongate, while oval faces can carry all formats. Diamond-set hoops add a luxurious touch while remaining versatile, perfect for a day-to-night transition.

Studs are fixed earrings worn directly on the lobe, with a push-back closure at the rear, ideal for a minimalist style and maximum comfort. Leverbacks feature a hook or hinged system that gently wraps around the lobe, offering elegant drape and enhanced security. Both styles are available with diamond settings in 18k white gold, and Mayuri offers both options with secure closures.

Absolutely, white gold diamond earrings are the preferred choice for weddings and formal events. Their timeless brilliance harmonizes perfectly with white gowns and evening attire, never overwhelming the look. Choose drop or halo designs for sophisticated impact, or solitaire studs for discreet elegance. At Mayuri, each pair is delivered in a gift box, ideal for gifting or for your special day.

Diamond quality rests on the 4Cs: Carat (weight), Cut, Color and Clarity. For earrings, favour a colour of G-H minimum (near-colourless) and clarity of VS to VVS (very slight inclusions invisible to the naked eye). The cut determines brilliance and should be excellent to very good. All Mayuri diamonds meet these superior quality standards and are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity detailing their gemmological characteristics.

Vintage and Art Deco styles are characterized by bold geometric designs, millegrain settings and symmetrical compositions that evoke the 1920s-1930s. These pieces possess heightened aesthetic and historical value, particularly sought after by collectors. Mayuri can create bespoke vintage-inspired designs using traditional setting techniques while guaranteeing the contemporary quality of 18k white gold and VS-VVS diamonds.

White gold is naturally a slightly grey-beige colour due to its palladium and silver alloys. Rhodium plating is a coating of rhodium, a precious metal from the platinum family, which provides brilliant white colour and protection against scratches. On earrings, this treatment typically lasts 2 to 3 years depending on use, and Mayuri offers an in-house re-plating service to restore the original brilliance. This process preserves the luminous intensity that enhances your diamonds.
