The web charm at the bottom isn't a solid, flat piece. It’s made of fine, textured gold threads that catch the light as you move. The rest of the earring is a simple, polished chain, so the web gets all the attention.
It starts with a small, round zircon set in a four-prong gold stud. A fine, polished gold chain drops from the stud, letting the earring hang to about the jawline. At the end of the chain is a pentagon-shaped web, with intricate, textured threads forming the pattern inside.
We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. 14K is 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength, which means it’s durable enough for a delicate design like the web and won't easily bend. Solid gold also means the colour is permanent and won’t rub off over time. It's generally a safe bet for sensitive ears. The stone is a Zircon, chosen for its clarity, sitting securely in its prong setting.

This is for someone who likes a drop earring but wants the security and simplicity of a stud. The web is intricate, but the whole piece is very light because of the fine chain and openwork design. You get the length and movement without any weight pulling on your earlobe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the chain on the 14K Gold Web Drop Studs get tangled in my hair?
It's possible, as with any drop earring, but the chain is smooth and the web has enough weight to keep it hanging straight. To minimize tangling, we suggest putting the earrings on after your hair is styled and being mindful when putting on scarves or high-collared shirts.
Can I shower or sleep in my 14K Gold Web Drop Studs?
Yes, you can shower in them as solid 14K gold won't tarnish from water. However, we recommend taking them off before sleeping. The post could be uncomfortable, and the delicate chain or web could catch on bedding and get damaged over time.
How far down will the Web Drop Studs hang on someone with a standard ear piercing?
The total length is designed to let the web charm fall just around the jawline for most people. The exact position will vary slightly based on the placement of your piercing, but the chain is long enough to create noticeable movement without being overwhelmingly long.
