This isn't quite a stud and not quite a drop earring. The top teardrop sits right on the lobe, while the bottom one connects via a short bar, giving it just a bit of swing as you turn your head.
You’re looking at a pair of short drop earrings, each built from two teardrop shapes stacked vertically. A small, polished gold bar connects them, allowing the bottom half to move. The top shape is fixed to the post. Inside each gold teardrop, three round cubic zirconia stones are set closely together. The entire earring has a bright, polished finish and fastens with a standard butterfly back.
We make these from solid 14K gold, not plated. That's 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength, which means they're tough enough for daily life without you having to worry about them. It also means they’re a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The stones are cubic zirconia; they're cut to catch a lot of light but are a very hard, durable, lab-created alternative. The whole piece is covered by our two-year warranty.

People often pick this one when they want more than a basic stud but find longer drop earrings get in the way. It gives you the security of a stud at the post, but the bottom half dangles just enough to catch the light. It's a nice change of pace from a simple stud.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Douet earring get caught in my hair because of the drop design?
The Douet earring is quite short at only 14mm, so it's less likely to catch in hair than longer drop styles. The smooth, enclosed setting of the teardrops also helps prevent snagging. It sits close to the lobe, giving you movement without much risk of tangling.
Can I wear my 14K gold Douet earrings in the shower?
Yes, you can wear your 14K gold earrings in the shower. Solid gold won't tarnish or be damaged by water. However, soaps and shampoos can build up a film over time and dull the shine of the cubic zirconia, so we recommend giving them a gentle clean every so often.
Is the Douet earring small enough to wear in a second lobe piercing?
Yes, at 14mm long, the Douet earring can work well in a second or third piercing, depending on your ear's anatomy. We suggest measuring 14mm down from your piercing to see where the bottom of the earring will land and ensure you like the placement.

If the Douet earrings aren't right for you, you can return them within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, provided they're in their original condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label to make it easy.
