14K Gold Jade Stud Earrings - Oval Green Cabochon, Bezel Set
Jade Cabochon Studs - Vivid Green in a Plain Gold Bezel
Two oval cabochons of natural jade, 10 x 8.5mm each, set into smooth polished gold bezels that wrap the stone without a single line of decoration. The colour is the strongest in this group - a vivid apple green with darker drifts running through it and paler ground behind, the pattern that only ever comes from a stone that grew. The pair weighs 1.4 grams in 14k solid gold.
Everything about the setting is a decision to get out of the way. A plain bezel does two things a claw setting cannot: it protects the whole rim of a stone that scratches more easily than it breaks, and it puts an unbroken ring of warm gold directly against the green, which is the oldest and still the best way to make jade look greener. There is no engraving, no texture, no halo. Just the stone and a band of gold around it.

Turn a natural stone against a lamp and you should see the colour vary in depth through the body - patches, drifts, a little cloudiness. Dyed material tends to show colour concentrated along fractures, and treated stone often looks slightly too bright and too even everywhere at once. These stones are natural and untreated. Care guidance on our Jade Care Card.
FAQs
1. How big are they?
The jade is 10 x 8.5mm, so each stud sits roughly the width of a small fingernail on the lobe - present without being a statement.
2. Is the setting engraved?
No. The bezels are plain polished gold, deliberately. A smooth rim is what makes the green read most strongly, and it protects the edge of the stone at the same time.
3. Is the jade natural?
Yes - natural, untreated jade. The uneven distribution of colour through the stone is the evidence.
4. Are these good for every day?
Among the best. At 1.4 grams for the pair they are barely noticeable, the bezel shields the stone's rim, and there is nothing to catch on clothing or hair. Take them off before swimming; wash occasionally in warm soapy water. See our Jade Care Card.
5. Why give jade as a gift?
Because in Chinese tradition it is given at the moments that matter - births, weddings, departures - as a wish for protection rather than as a display of wealth. That makes it a different kind of present from a diamond. Why Small Objects Hold Big Emotions goes into why.
How to Style the Jade Cabochon Studs
A first-hole stud that goes with everything and layers happily under a hoop or a second small piercing. Because the bezel sits flat, they wear comfortably under headphones and overnight. Browse the full 14k and 18k Gold collection, see more Earrings, or visit JewelBuild™ to build around them.

Caring for Your Fine Gold Piece
14k and 18k gold is a precious metal investment. With proper care it holds its colour and quality indefinitely — fine gold does not tarnish, but it can scratch and dull without attention.
| Daily wear | Remove during heavy physical activity, cleaning, and gardening |
| Cleaning | Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, soft brush — rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth |
| Storage | Store separately — gold scratches easily when touching other metals |
| Professional care | Annual professional polish recommended for fine pieces |
| Avoid | Chlorine, bleach, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with stones |
