These earrings are built in two parts. The top bar sits flat against your earlobe, while the bottom bar swings freely on a fine chain. It’s a design that has a lot of movement but stays clean and linear.
You're looking at a pair of drop earrings. Each one starts with a horizontal bar of black enamel at the stud. A short, fine-link gold chain connects it to a second, longer vertical bar that hangs below. Both bars are set in polished 14K gold, which frames the deep black of the enamel. The backs are standard butterfly clasps, also in solid gold.
We make these from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means they're durable enough for daily wear without bending easily. The enamel is certified, so its deep black colour won't fade or chip with normal use. Because it's solid gold, the posts won't irritate sensitive ears, and the entire piece will keep its colour without ever tarnishing.

Most drop earrings have a single dangling element. This one has a fixed horizontal bar at the top, which anchors the design visually. It keeps the earring from looking too long or heavy, even with the drop component. It's a structured look that still has a lot of life to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the enamel on my Crossbar Drop Earrings scratch or chip easily?
The certified enamel we use is very durable and resistant to chipping or scratching from normal daily wear. You should still avoid direct contact with abrasive surfaces or harsh chemicals, but you don't have to be overly precious with them. They're designed to be worn.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14K gold enamel earrings in?
Yes, you can shower in them. Solid 14K gold won't be damaged by water. However, we recommend taking them off before sleeping. The posts can be uncomfortable to lie on, and there's a small risk of the chain catching on bedding and getting pulled.
How far down will the Crossbar Drop Earrings hang on my ear?
The total drop length will depend on your piercing placement, but the chain itself is quite short. The bottom of the vertical bar will typically hang just below the jawline for most people, allowing it to move freely without getting tangled in collars or scarves.
What happens if I receive my Crossbar Drop Earrings and don't like how they look?
