These aren't a simple stud. The main teardrop sits on the lobe, but a second, smaller stone hangs just below it on a tiny link. This gives the whole earring a bit of life and movement when you turn your head, catching the light from different angles.
You're looking at a pair of 14K gold stud earrings. The main body is a pear shape, filled with a cluster of round cubic zirconia stones—one larger one in the centre, ringed by smaller ones. From the bottom point of this teardrop, a single round stone in a six-prong setting dangles from a small, polished link. The post is secured with a matching gold scroll back.
The body and posts are made from solid 14K gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. This makes them durable enough for regular wear without bending easily. Because the posts are 14K gold, they're a very good choice if you have sensitive ears or reactions to other metals. The stones are all cubic zirconia, cut with many facets so they throw back a lot of light, especially with the little bit of movement from the dangling part.

These are for when you want something more than a stud, but a long drop earring feels like too much. You get the sparkle and movement of a dangle earring, but it’s all contained in a compact size that won't get caught in your scarf or hair. They're light enough that you'll forget you're wearing them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the dangling part of the Dewdrop Earrings catch on my clothes or hair?
The dangling stone is quite small and hangs from a short, smooth link, so it's unlikely to snag on most fabrics or hair. The six-prong setting is also fairly low-profile. With any dangling jewellery, it's still wise to be mindful around delicate knits, but these are designed for easy wear.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 14K gold Dewdrop Earrings?
Yes, you can shower in them, but we recommend taking them off before sleeping. While water won't harm 14K gold, soap and shampoo residue can build up on the cubic zirconia over time, making them look dull. Sleeping in any post earring can be uncomfortable and may bend the post.
How will the 13mm Dewdrop Earrings sit on a smaller earlobe?
On a smaller earlobe, the 13mm length means the dangling stone will hang just below the lobe, creating a distinct drop. The 7mm-wide teardrop stud provides full coverage on the lobe itself without looking bulky. They're proportioned to be present but not heavy.
What happens if I decide the Dewdrop Earrings aren't for me after I receive them?
If they aren't quite right, you can return them within 30 days for a full refund. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide a prepaid shipping label. We just ask that the earrings are returned in their original, unworn condition.
How long does shipping for jewellery orders to the United States take?
Shipping to the US is free on orders over $60 CAD and typically takes 5 to 15 business days to arrive. Once your package is on its way, we'll send you a tracking number so you can watch its progress.
