Are the green stones emeralds?
No, and we never call them that. They are emerald-green glass, chosen for a deep, translucent forest color. What makes the studs special is the setting: real 22k gold vermeil pressed around each stone by hand.
How are the stones set?
Instead of gluing a stone into a cup, the artisan presses gold around its edges until it forms a collar that holds the stone on its own. It is one of the oldest ways to set a stone, and it gives these studs their solid, heirloom look.
Will the gold wear off?
The studs are heavily plated in 22k gold vermeil over a solid sterling silver base, which wears far better than thin plating. Keeping them away from water, perfume, and friction will keep the finish bright for years.
Are they comfortable for everyday wear?
Yes. At about half an inch across, they sit close to the ear on a sterling silver post with a secure butterfly back, light enough for all-day wear.
The story
Master Jeweler Ratan seats the emerald-green glass, then works the gold over its edges by hand until the seam disappears. Nothing is glued. Done well, the green ends up looking as though it is growing straight out of the gold.
The flower is a jasmine, five petals, the kind tied to fresh starts. A small, bright thing made to be worn often and kept for a long time.
Held by gold. Defined by color.

What is Gullye
Gullye finds its soul in the forgotten lanes, where quiet hands shape beauty that the world often overlooks. We bring these stories forward not as relics of the past, but as living treasures meant to be cherished.
The house of Gullye
Slow by hand.
Heirloom objects from the workshops of South Asia, made in editions, never in factories.
The Jasmine Studs
A five-petal jasmine flower in warm 22k gold vermeil, with a deep emerald-green glass stone set at its center. The stone is not glued; the gold itself is pressed around its edge until it holds, locking it in place for good. Small, bright, and built to be worn every day.
Gullye makes sculptural pieces by hand, in small editions, with master artisans in Jaipur. Once an edition sells out, it is retired.
The specification
This is a gold vermeil piece, so treat it as you would fine jewelry. Silver can oxidize when wet, so wipe the studs dry after any contact with water. Apply perfume and lotion before you put them on, as both can cloud the surface of the glass stones over time. Keep them in the Gullye dust bag between wears.
In confidence
It is the setting, not the stone, that makes these. The method is easy to describe and hard to do: instead of gluing a stone into a cup, the gold itself is pressed around the stone's edges until it forms a collar that holds it on its own. It is one of the oldest ways to set a stone, and one of the hardest to do well.
