The marquise-shaped leaf isn't fixed to the hoop. It's attached by a small ring, allowing it to swing freely. This means it catches the light from different angles as you turn your head, creating constant, subtle flashes of light.
This is a pair of small, polished gold hoops. They're huggies, so they sit close to the earlobe. Dangling from each hoop is a marquise-shaped charm, like a pointed leaf. The entire front surface of the leaf is pavé-set with about twenty-four tiny, round Cubic Zirconia stones. The gold has a bright, mirror-like finish, and the hoops close with a simple hinge that clicks securely into place.
We make these from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys, which means it’s tough enough for you to wear every day without worrying about it bending or scratching easily. The solid gold also means it won't tarnish or discolour, and it's a good choice for sensitive ears. The stones are high-grade Cubic Zirconia, each one hand-set into the leaf to create a continuous, sparkling surface.

These are for when you want a bit of dangle and sparkle but don't want a long or heavy earring. The huggie sits right on the lobe, and the leaf charm is small and light. You get the movement of a drop earring without the weight or length.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 14K gold on these Drop Leaf Earrings irritate my sensitive ears?
No, the 14K solid gold in the Drop Leaf Earrings is unlikely to cause irritation. We use a nickel-free alloy, which means it's hypoallergenic and safe for most people with metal sensitivities. Solid gold won't flake or wear off like plated jewellery, preventing exposure to irritating base metals.
Can I shower or sleep in my Drop Leaf Earrings?
Yes, you can shower and sleep in them because they're made of solid 14K gold, so water won't do any harm. We do, however, suggest taking them out before sleeping to avoid snagging the charm on your bedding or hair, and to keep the pavé setting free of soap residue.
How will the Drop Leaf Earrings fit if I have a second or third lobe piercing?
The Drop Leaf Earrings will fit well in most second or third lobe piercings. The hoop is a small 'huggie' style designed to sit closely to the earlobe. The leaf charm is short and lightweight, so it shouldn't feel crowded or interfere with other earrings you might be wearing.
