Gold earrings are designed in many styles. The amount of gold varies for hoop, stud and dangle earrings, as well as large versus small earrings. Since pure gold is too soft to form jewellery, it is mixed with other metals to make 12ct, 14ct, 18ct, 20ct and 22ct gold. The amount of gold needed to support an earring design depends on the size and whether stones will be added.

Finding the perfect jewellery gift is difficult, but why not buy members of your family, and close friends silver lockets? That way you can share your memories by adding a small photo to the locket. Heart lockets are good choices for daughters, sisters, nieces, granddaughters and your closest, most loyal friends.

White gold jewellery is gaining popularity over yellow gold, particularly for wedding and engagement rings. Women, in particular, value the versatility of white gold and its tendency to emphasize a diamond's brilliance.
