This is a threader earring, which means the chain itself sits inside your piercing. You get two distinct drops from a single hole: the beaded circle at the front, and the long, thin bar dangling behind your earlobe.
This earring is built on a long, fine cable chain. At one end, there's a small, solid gold bar that helps you thread it through your piercing. The other end features a small open circle framed with a granulated, beaded texture. A few slightly larger oval links connect this circle to the main chain. The finish is a smooth, high polish on all components, which creates a lot of flash as the earring moves.
We make this earring from solid 14k gold, not plated or filled. It’s an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals like silver and copper for strength. This durability is important for a fine chain like this one, which means it can handle daily wear without stretching or breaking easily. Because it's solid gold all the way through, the colour won't ever fade or rub off. It's also a good choice for sensitive ears since our 14k gold alloy is completely nickel-free.
- Material: 14k solid gold
- Sold as: Single earring
- Warranty: 2-year warranty
People pick this one when they want the length of a drop earring without the weight. Because it's just a fine chain and a small bar, it's incredibly light in the ear. You get a lot of movement and length, but you'll barely feel it's there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Sun Beam threader earring fall out of my ear easily?
No, it's designed to stay put. The length of the chain and the weight of the solid gold bar at one end create enough balance and friction to keep it secure in your piercing during normal activity. It's much more secure than a simple French hook.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 14k gold Sun Beam earring?
Yes, you can shower in it. Solid 14k gold is durable and won't be damaged by water. We do recommend removing it before sleeping, though, as the long chain could get tangled or pulled, which might be uncomfortable or damage the delicate chain over time.
How do I adjust the length of the Sun Beam earring once it's in my ear?
You can adjust how it hangs by gently pulling the chain through your piercing from either the front or the back. You can wear it with the beaded circle close to your lobe for a shorter look, or pull it through for a longer, more dramatic drop.
What happens if I want to return my Sun Beam earring?
We accept returns within 30 days of purchase. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide you with a prepaid shipping label. The earring needs to be in its original, unworn condition for us to process a full refund for you.
How long does free shipping to the US take for an order like the Sun Beam earring?
