Rivière Earrings
Rivière — coming from the French for river — is an earring design where diamonds are placed next to each other to create a long smooth line. Typically, the stones are all the same size, but sometimes diamonds are used ranging from large to small.
Rivière earrings are a timeless piece that can be worn for any occasion for extra sparkle.
At BAUNAT, you can add a stunning coloured stone, like yellow or black diamonds, to make the look more dramatic. Choose between white gold, yellow gold, red gold or platinum as the backdrop to the gems.
Yellow Gold
This precious metal consists of pure gold mixed with alloys such as copper for a warmer tone and zinc to a paler colour. Earrings in yellow gold exude luxury, making them perfect for any occasion.
Yellow gold comes in varying levels of purity, measured in karats (or kt). The most common karat weights for gold are 18kt (75% pure gold) and 24kt (99.9% pure gold). Other purity levels available include 9kt (37.5%), 14kt (58.3%) and 22kt (91.7%).
While a higher karat count is purer, it also makes the precious metal less durable. That's why jewellers tend to use 18kt, 14kt, or 9kt for jewellery that should last long-term. Like an elegant pair of yellow gold earrings.
