This is a threader earring, which means the chain itself is what holds it in place. A small gold heart sits at one end, while a solid bar at the other acts as a guide and counterweight, creating a long, clean line that moves with you.
You're looking at a pair of threader-style earrings. Each one is a single, long piece of fine paperclip chain. At one end, there's a small, polished gold heart. It's not flat; it has a distinct fold down the centre that catches the light and gives it dimension. The other end features a straight, solid bar that guides the earring through your piercing and helps it hang properly.
We make these entirely from 14-karat solid gold, not plated or filled. Your earrings are 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys for durability. Pure gold is too soft for a delicate chain, so this blend is crucial. It means the paperclip chain is strong enough for daily wear and the whole piece can withstand being threaded through your ear without losing its shape. The solid gold also means the colour is permanent and won't tarnish or turn your skin green over time.

People choose these when they want the length of a dangle earring without any of the weight. Because it's just a fine chain, it's incredibly light and you barely feel it. It's a different way to wear a heart that feels less traditional than a stud or a charm on a hoop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Chain Heart Earring fall out of my ear easily since it has no back?
No, the Chain Heart Earring is designed to stay secure without a back. The length and weight of the chain hanging behind your earlobe, along with the bar post, provides enough counterbalance to the heart in front. This keeps the earring centred and prevents it from accidentally slipping out.
Is it safe to shower or sleep while wearing the 14k gold Chain Heart Earrings?
Yes, you can shower in them. Solid 14k gold isn't damaged by water. However, we recommend taking them out before sleeping. The long chain can get caught or tangled in your hair or on your bedding, which could cause it to pull uncomfortably or even break.
Can I wear the Chain Heart Earring in my second or third lobe piercing?
Yes, you can definitely wear the Chain Heart Earring in any standard lobe piercing. They look great in a first, second, or third hole. Just be mindful of the 5 cm drop length to ensure it has enough space to hang freely without interfering with other jewellery you're wearing.
