Stone Set Earrings

Gemstone Earrings at Michael Hill

Give your look an instant touch of glamour, or add a little sparkle to your earring stack, with our range of stone set earrings.

Keep it simple with a pair of gemstone stud earrings, or step up the sparkle with a pair of stone set drop earrings, opal jewellery or a halo design. Choose a piece in your favourite colour, from purple earrings to green, blue, red, and more. Or, go for a personal touch by wearing your birthstone, or a gem with symbolism that resonates with you.

• How do I style stone set earrings?

  Gemstone earrings are eye-catching, so they are perfect worn alone for an effortless way to add colour to your look. Gemstone stud earrings, mini hoops or huggie earrings are beautiful for everyday, as they will give you a touch of glamour without being overwhelming.

  You can also pair your gemstone jewellery with Rose Gold Earrings, giving you the extra air of elegance you might be looking for.

  Of course, if you want to make more of a statement day to day, or if you are choosing jewellery for a special occasion, then an attention-grabbing style such as gemstone drop earrings, pearl drop or thread earrings, or gemstone and diamond designs, are the perfect choice and will give you all the sparkle you need. These styles are bold enough to wear on their own, or you could pair them with a necklace and ring to tie your whole look together.

  For those who like to be adventurous with their jewellery styling, don’t be afraid to add a statement gemstone piece to an earring stack. For a simple rule of thumb, wear your heaviest style in your lowest earlobe piercing, and pair with other pieces in the same metal colour for a chic layered look.

   

• Which gemstones are purple?

  The gemstone that usually comes to mind when looking for purple shades is amethyst. amethyst is a variety of quartz, and it has symbolism that dates back to Ancient Greece. Amethyst has a range of shades, from lavender to a deeper violet colour, so if you are looking for a pair of purple earrings, or a purple pendant or ring, amethyst is a beautiful choice.

  Cubic Zirconia is another option. It’s a synthetic stone which can be created in just about any colour – from bright blue to deep red and vibrant pink – so CZ is a good choice if you are after jewellery in any stunning colour, and it also comes at affordable price point.
