The front of this hoop is built like a tiny anchor chain, with a single emerald-cut stone set right in the centre link. It's a solid, geometric design that sits close to the lobe and feels substantial.
These are small, hinged hoop earrings made to look like a section of a mariner chain. The links are rounded and solid, with a high-polish finish that catches light along their curves. Set into the front-facing link is a single, rectangular emerald-cut Cubic Zirconia. The stone is held in place by the gold frame, and the whole thing clicks shut with a post that snaps securely into the back of the hoop.
We make these from solid 14K gold, not plated. It's an alloy of 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily life without bending out of shape. 14K gold is also a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The stone is a Cubic Zirconia, cut into a clean, rectangular shape. It's a durable, lab-created material with a bright, clear flash that won't cloud over time, which means you get the look of a perfect diamond without the worry.

You'll find a lot of simple gold huggies out there. This one is different because of its construction. The interlocking link design gives it a bit more substance and visual interest than a plain band, but it's still small enough to be a go-to everyday earring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the chain link design on the Emerald Link Earring catch on my hair or clothes?
No, the links on the Emerald Link Earring are cast as a solid piece and are smoothly polished, so they won't catch on hair or delicate fabrics. The design mimics the look of a chain, but there are no actual moving parts or gaps for things to get snagged in.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 14K gold Emerald Link Earrings?
Yes, you can shower and sleep in them. Solid 14K gold is durable and won't be damaged by water. However, soaps and shampoos can leave a residue that dulls the stone's sparkle over time. We recommend taking them out occasionally for a gentle cleaning to keep them looking their best.
How will the 15mm Emerald Link Earring fit on a second or third lobe piercing?
A 15mm hoop will likely have some space and hang below a second or third piercing, rather than hugging it tightly. For a snugger 'huggie' fit in higher placements, you might prefer a smaller diameter hoop. We recommend measuring from your piercing to the bottom of your ear to see how it will sit.
