Smoky Quartz Stud Earrings in 18k Yellow Gold – 8mm

Bold yet refined, these smoky quartz studs are anything but ordinary. Designed and handcrafted at llyn strong fine art jewelry’s Midtown Greenville shop + studio, each pair features 8mm round yellow smoky quartz stones set in warm, radiant 18k yellow gold. The result is a versatile and elegant stud that balances earthy depth with golden sophistication.

The stones themselves—smoky quartz with golden undertones—offer a natural palette that complements a wide range of skin tones and styles. Their subtle transparency reveals a mysterious, smoldering warmth that makes these earrings feel timeless, grounded, and effortlessly stylish. The smoky gold effect is heightened by the richness of the gold setting, creating a luminous frame for each stone.

Perfect for those who prefer statement jewelry that doesn't scream for attention, these quartz studs carry weight through craftsmanship and intentional design. Their size—8mm—is substantial enough to be noticed without overwhelming, making them ideal for daily wear or special occasions alike. They pair well with both structured, professional looks and softer, more organic pieces. And because they're designed at llyn strong, they carry the visual impact and precision that define every piece we create.
