The black enamel isn't an accent; it's a solid, unbroken line that runs the entire length of the outer face. This gives the gold a sharp, graphic frame that creates a striking contrast you can see from across a room.
You're looking at a pair of elongated hoop earrings, shaped like a rounded rectangle or a clean paperclip. The front face has a channel of glossy black enamel set into the polished 14K gold. One earring is shown from the side, a solid bar of black and gold. The other shows the post-and-clutch back, with a four-leaf clover for the butterfly clutch. The gold is highly polished, reflecting light along its edges.
We make these from solid 14K gold, not plated. That's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that give it strength for everyday wear. Which means the gold colour is consistent all the way through and will never rub off. The black line is a certified enamel, fused into a channel in the gold. This process makes the colour permanent and gives it a hard, glossy surface that's very resistant to scratching or chipping with normal use.

People choose these when they want a hoop but not a circle. The long, flat profile sits close to the jawline and doesn't swing around as much as a round hoop might. It's a geometric alternative that feels both structured and surprisingly easy to wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the black enamel on my Small Infinity Oval Earrings scratch or chip?
The certified enamel we use is a type of glass fused to the 14K gold, making it very durable and resistant to everyday wear. While it's tough, a hard impact against a rough surface could potentially cause damage. We recommend removing them before any strenuous activity.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14K gold enamel earrings on?
Yes, you can. Solid 14K gold and high-quality enamel are water-safe, so showering won't harm them. We do suggest taking them out before sleeping, though, just to prevent the posts from bending or uncomfortably pressing into your skin overnight.
How do the Small Infinity Oval Earrings sit on the earlobe compared to a round hoop?
These earrings hang vertically rather than in a circle. The post goes through your piercing, and the long U-shape drops straight down, following the line of your jaw. They have a lower profile than a round hoop of a similar size, offering a more linear, architectural look.
What happens if I receive my earrings and I want to return them?
We have a 30-day return window from the date of delivery. If the earrings aren't right for you, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca for a prepaid shipping label. Please ensure they are in their original, unworn condition to be eligible for a full refund.
