Triple Round Ruby Cluster Stud Earrings
Unbranded · Jewelry & Watches > Earrings
Era / Decade
Modern (2000s-Present) based on the bezel setting style and cluster arrangement
Material
Estimated 14k or 18k Yellow Gold with synthetic or natural rubies. The deep pinkish-red hue suggests either natural rubies or high-quality lab-created corundum. Verification of metal hallmarks (e.g., 585 or 750) on the posts is required.
Condition
Excellent. The stones appear secure in their bezel settings, and the gold finish shows no visible tarnishing or plating wear in the photo. Assuming posts are straight and butterflies are included.
Demand Level
Strong. Dainty gold jewelry and birthstone items (July for Ruby) are consistently popular on platforms like Etsy and Depop.
Resale Value

Description
Elegant pair of yellow gold stud earrings featuring a triple-cluster design. Each earring holds three round-cut rubies in secure bezel settings, forming a classic trinity or clover shape. These minimalist yet colorful studs are perfect for second piercings or everyday wear. Small, lightweight, and vibrant pinkish-red stones.
Key Features
14k Yellow Gold (presumed), dainty minimalist aesthetic, vibrant ruby color, secure bezel settings which prevent snagging on clothes.
Authenticity Indicators
Look for stamps on the earring posts or the scroll backs (butterflies). Authentic gold usually feels heavier than plated brass and won't be attracted to a magnet. Confidence: Medium until hallmarks are checked.
Flaws to Note
The image is blurry, making it difficult to confirm if the stones have internal inclusions (natural) or are flawless (lab-grown). Also, the absence of visible hallmarks in the photo means the gold purity must be tested.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark or Mercari for a quick sale; Etsy if they can be verified as vintage or handmade; eBay for the widest audience of jewelry collectors.
Selling Tips
Use a macro lens to get a sharp photo of the hallmarks and the stones. Mention 'Minimalist,' 'Dainty,' and 'July Birthstone' in the title. If they are real gold, include the weight in grams to justify a higher price. Always ship in a small gift box to ensure safe arrival and positive reviews.
