The outer teardrop shape has a diamond-cut texture that creates tiny, sharp flashes of light. It's a different kind of shine than a polished surface, more of a flicker. The three zircons inside add their own distinct sparkle, giving the piece a layered look.

Each earring starts with a small, polished 14k gold huggie hoop. Hanging from that is a double teardrop design. The outer, larger teardrop has a textured, cross-hatched finish, while the smaller inner one is smooth. Inside, three round-cut zircons are stacked vertically, each held in its own setting. The top stone sits inside the smaller teardrop, and the bottom two hang just below it.

These are made from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that add strength and durability. This means you can wear them regularly without worrying about the colour fading or the surface flaking away. Solid gold is also hypoallergenic, so it’s unlikely to irritate sensitive skin, even with all-day wear. The stones are round-cut zircons, which are hard and have a brilliant fire that holds up over time.

You get three different types of light play in one earring: the sharp flash from the textured gold, the warm gleam from the polished gold, and the bright sparkle from the zircons. It's a lot of detail and movement packed into a relatively compact, lightweight drop earring.
