The leverback closure on these earrings clicks shut, which is a satisfying sound. It’s also how you know they’re secure and aren’t going to get snagged on a scarf or fall out when you pull your hair back.
These are a pair of drop earrings made from polished 14K gold. The closure is a hinged leverback that loops through your ear. Dangling from a small ring is an oval gemstone held in a four-prong basket setting. The stone itself is a soft, peachy-pink colour, and it’s cut into a smooth, rounded cabochon that shows a bit of a sheen as it moves in the light.
We make these with solid 14K gold, not gold-plating. 14K is 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals to make it stronger, which means it’s tough enough for a moving part like a leverback hinge. This also means the gold colour is there to stay and won't rub off. We use a nickel-free alloy, so it's a safe choice for anyone with sensitive ears. The gemstone is set by hand into a simple prong setting that lets light hit it from all sides.

You’d pick these if you want a simple drop earring but don’t want to worry about losing it. A French hook can fall out and a butterfly back can come loose. The leverback is a secure closure you can trust. They’re also very lightweight, so you can wear them all day without them pulling on your earlobe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the peachy gemstone in my Harmony Drop Earrings fade or change colour?
No, the colour of the gemstone is stable and will not fade over time. It’s a solid material with inherent colour, not a surface treatment or dye. You can expect it to look the same in ten years as it does today, though like any jewellery, it will look its best with occasional cleaning.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 14K gold Harmony Drop Earrings?
You can, but we recommend taking them off. Sleeping with them can cause the post to bend or catch on your bedding, and showering can lead to soap scum and shampoo building up around the prongs and dulling the stone. It only takes a second to remove them, and it keeps them looking their best.
How far down do the Gemstone Harmony Drop Earrings hang from the piercing?
The bottom of the gemstone will sit about 1 cm below your piercing. They’re designed to be short enough that they don’t get caught on a collar, but long enough to have a nice sense of movement. They’ll clear your earlobe and dangle just above the jawline on most people.
What happens if I need to return the earrings after I receive them?
We have a 30-day return policy for unworn items. If they aren’t what you expected, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca. We’ll send you a prepaid shipping label so you can send them back to our studio in Coquitlam for a full refund.
