9ct white gold gives diamond earrings a bright, white setting for less than 18ct white gold or platinum. Choose a design below and we make the pair to order in 9ct white gold, set with natural or lab grown diamonds you choose.
Why Choose 9ct White Gold?
9ct white gold is 37.5% gold, hallmarked 375, with a rhodium-plated finish that keeps the claws bright white and lets colourless diamonds look their whitest. The lower gold content brings the price down, so more of your budget can go into the diamonds, and the hard alloy holds the stones securely.
Looking After 9ct White Gold
Under the rhodium, 9ct white gold is slightly warmer in colour than 18ct. As the plating wears, usually over a year or two, a hint of warmth can show; a quick re-plate brings it back to bright white. If you would rather never re-plate, choose platinum, which stays white all the way through. If you have a known metal allergy, ask us about the alloy before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is rhodium plated for a bright white finish. As the plating wears, usually over a year or two, a hint of warmth can show. A quick re-plate brings it back to bright white.
Yes. 9ct is a hard alloy, so claws and posts keep their shape and hold the diamonds securely. Earrings get less wear than a ring, so the plating also lasts longer.
It depends on the design: 9ct has half the pure gold of 18ct, so the heavier the setting, the bigger the saving. Each earring page shows the price in every metal, so you can compare.
Yes. You choose the diamonds for your pair from our certified natural and lab grown stock on the earring page.
