About our Jewellery

Why We Use Solid Gold

Solid gold is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, and it’s perfect for sensitive skin. Because cartilage earrings are changed less frequently, durable and nickel-free materials are essential.

Pure gold (24k) is too soft for everyday wear, so we blend it with trace metals to create 9k and 14k gold alloys that retain their warm glow while being strong enough for daily wear.

• 9k Gold: durable and warm in tone – ideal for everyday wear
• 14k Gold: richer in colour and beautifully balanced between luxury and practicality
• No nickel ever: gentle and safe for sensitive ears

Our Stones

We choose stones that are both brilliant and ethical.

Cubic Zirconia (CZ)

CZ is the world’s most popular diamond substitute. It sparkles beautifully and is almost as hard as a diamond, scoring 8.5 on the Mohs scale (diamonds score 10). Because it’s lab-created, it’s also an affordable, sustainable alternative to mined stones.

Cultured Opals

Our cultured opals share the same structure and lustre as natural opals. Created in controlled conditions, they deliver consistent colour and radiance while reducing environmental impact. Even trained gemologists can find them hard to tell apart from natural opals.

Designed for Comfort

Comfort is at the heart of every Laura Bond design. All our cartilage studs are internally threaded front-fitting labrets – the front screws securely into the post for a smooth, safe fit.

Our signature heart-shaped flat screw backs sit flush against your ear, preventing discomfort while sleeping and keeping your jewellery secure throughout the day.
