What is a Sui Dhaga earring?
“Sui Dhaga” literally means “needle and thread” in Hindi. These earrings use a thin wire (the “needle”) that threads through the ear and loops back — a traditional Indian earring fastening that is very secure and comfortable for all-day wear.
What is 22ct Sunrise Gold?
Sunrise Gold is the name for our warm-toned 22ct gold — it has the same 91.6% purity as standard 22ct gold but with a slightly richer, deeper yellow tone, characteristic of traditionally crafted Indian gold jewellery.
How heavy are these earrings?
Each earring is very lightweight at 1.45g total, making them comfortable for extended wear including for work or daily use.
Are Sui Dhaga earrings secure — will they fall out?
Yes. The sui dhaga (needle and thread) mechanism loops through the piercing and fastens back on itself, making it one of the most secure traditional earring fittings — far less likely to come loose than a standard butterfly back.
Are these earrings suitable for sensitive ears?
Yes. Because they are solid 22ct gold (91.6% pure), they contain minimal base metals, making them an excellent choice for people with metal sensitivities.
What carat gold are these earrings?
These are 22ct gold earrings, meaning they are 91.6% pure gold — the standard used in traditional Indian gold jewellery.
Are the earrings hallmarked?
Yes. All PureJewels gold earrings are UK hallmarked, independently verified by the London Assay Office.
Do these come as a pair?
Yes, the price shown is for a pair of earrings.
Can I wear these earrings every day?
Yes. At 1.45g they are lightweight enough for daily wear and the sui dhaga fitting is designed for comfort over long periods.
