14kt. Huggie diamond earrings, 5.8mm x 14.5mm, 8.3gr. 0.10ct. tw. SI-HI. $1,440.00 CAD. 151-00314
As of this posting (Nov. 28th 2025), silver is trading at a fresh all time high of $79.00 CAD per ounce. Gold is also getting close to an all time high too; currently at $5,900.00 per ounce. The high cost of precious metals may sound like great news for jewellers, but the opposite is true. The sky high input costs makes producing high quality, decent weight, affordable jewellery almost impossible. The answer is to make jewellery light and flimsy from lower purity alloys that don’t last and have little value. Forget about seeing something like our latest pair of Huggie style estate cuff earrings at a store selling new jewellery.
Before you even start to manufacture a set of earrings like this you must buy the raw materials. In recyclable gold content these earrings contain 4.8 grams of pure gold worth over $900.00, add to that $9.00 of fine silver alloy, and $50.00 worth of tiny diamonds. Those are the ingredients, now you need to turn all that into what you see here. The cost of manufacturing can double the price of the raw materials and then a retail margin needs to be factored in on top of that. You can quickly see how high quality adds up when building nice jewellery like this.
That’s where the value of estate jewellery outshines everything else. You get high quality at a price that can’t be beat, resulting in outstanding value, but not necessarily low price. These huggie style earrings are in like new condition and have been freshly polished. They can be worn with the diamond stripe on the outside or the inside, they can even be reversed for a more casual look with just a highly polished flat surface showing.
The vertical string of hand set single cut diamonds have been rhodium enhanced for some extra sparkle. They each have tight hinges and very secure locking posts that disappear into the back (or front) of the hoop. This style can be worn 24/7 as there is no exposed post to poke you in the head. They only measure a little over half an inch in diameter and hug the earlobe like a cuff.
They are estate priced at $1,440.00 CAD. Stock #151-00314.
