Star shaped diamond studs

It’s all about playful luxury. Most diamond studs stick to the classic round or princess cut, which is timeless, sure — but sometimes you want something a bit more fun. These earrings take that everyday brilliance and give it a twist. Shaped into crisp five-point stars, they add personality without ever looking over the top.

Each star is crafted using natural diamonds, carefully arranged to maximise sparkle. We use a mix of princess cuts and delicate pavé, so light dances across every angle. Even better, they’re set in solid white gold, which means they keep that fresh, cool look and help the diamonds shine even more.

From the side, they’ve got gorgeous depth and a beautifully finished profile — details you don’t often see in mass-produced jewellery. So if you’re after earrings that feel classic at first glance, yet surprise you with playful charm up close, these are it.

You can definitely wear them every day. In fact, many of our clients do exactly that. Because they’re crafted in solid white gold with secure posts and backs, they’re designed for regular life — not just for storing away and waiting for a gala.

Of course, like all fine jewellery, they’ll thank you for a bit of care. Try taking them off before heavy gym sessions or handling harsh chemicals. This helps protect both the diamonds and the gold from unnecessary knocks or exposure.

That said, they’re robust enough for daily outings, from office meetings to school drop-offs and everything in between. The star shape makes them a little more eye-catching than standard studs, which is exactly why people love them. They’re a simple way to add joy (and some serious sparkle) to everyday outfits.

The beauty of these earrings is they go with almost anything. For a casual daytime look, pop them on with a white tee and jeans. The star shape adds instant polish, making even a relaxed outfit feel considered.

If you’re heading out at night, try pairing them with deep jewel tones like emerald, navy or even a rich burgundy. The contrast makes the diamonds look even brighter. Want to push the look further? Match them with a sleek diamond tennis bracelet or a delicate white gold pendant.

Because they’re studs, they’re also perfect for busy days when you want to keep hair tied back — it draws attention right to your face and gives those sparkling stars full focus. If you’re stuck for ideas, have a scroll through our Instagram. You’ll see plenty of real clients styling theirs in clever, unexpected ways.

Looking after them is easier than you might think. About once every fortnight, give them a gentle soak. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Let your earrings rest there for five to ten minutes. This helps loosen up any oils or bits of daily grime.

Then take a super-soft toothbrush and lightly clean around the diamonds and under the star points. Rinse them under lukewarm water and pat them dry with a lint-free cloth. Try not to use tissues or paper towels — they can leave fine scratches on gold over time.

When you’re not wearing them, store them in a lined box or a soft pouch. This stops them from rubbing against harder stones in other pieces. Also, bring them into our Sydney boutique once or twice a year. We’ll give them a professional clean and check the settings to keep every diamond secure. You can easily book a care appointment online whenever you like.

It comes down to quality, craftsmanship and personal care. At Ernesto Buono, we hand-select every diamond to ensure it meets our standards for brilliance and clarity. Many larger chain stores use more commercial-grade stones, which can look dull under certain lights. That’s never an option for us.

We also set each diamond in solid white gold, crafted here in Sydney. From the polished edges to the precise pavé work, every tiny detail gets our full attention. It’s why these earrings catch the light so beautifully from every angle.

Beyond the jewellery itself, you get an experience you simply won’t find at a mass-market retailer. Want to see how the earrings look with your hair colour or skin tone? Curious about matching pieces or custom tweaks? We’re here for all of it. Our clients trust us with their milestone moments because they know we genuinely care — about the jewellery and about them.
