9ct yellow gold diamond earrings have a warm, traditional look and cost less than 18ct. Choose a design below and we make the pair to order in solid 9ct yellow gold, set with natural or lab grown diamonds you choose.
Why Choose 9ct Yellow Gold?
9ct yellow gold is 37.5% gold, hallmarked 375. It has a softer, paler yellow than 18ct and needs no plating, so the colour never wears away. The lower gold content brings the price down, and the hard alloy holds the diamonds securely in everyday wear.
9ct or 18ct Yellow Gold?
18ct yellow gold is 75% gold and a richer, deeper yellow; 9ct is lighter in colour and lighter on the budget. If you are matching other jewellery, 9ct sits well with most yellow gold pieces. See our 18ct yellow gold earrings to compare.
