### Stargaze Earring
This earring doesn't just hang—it hooks over the top of your ear, creating a long, clean line that follows your jaw. The single star is the only detail on an otherwise minimalist gold bar, drawing the eye without adding bulk.
It’s a single, long piece of polished gold wire. One end is bent into a simple hook that goes through your piercing and rests on your cartilage. The other end is a straight, solid bar that drops down. Just below the hook, a small five-pointed star is set with tiny, brilliant-cut Cubic Zirconia stones. The star is attached with a small ring, so it has a bit of movement as you turn your head.
We make this from 14 Karat solid gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength, which means it’s tough enough to keep its shape and won't bend easily with daily wear. Solid gold also won't tarnish or discolour over time. And because it's nickel-free, it's a safe choice if you have sensitive skin. The stones are Cubic Zirconia, cut to catch light just like a diamond.
- Material: 14K Solid Gold, Cubic Zirconia
- Sold as: Single earring

You'd choose this for its unusual silhouette. It’s for someone who finds studs too simple and hoops too common. The long, rigid line is architectural and modern, and since it’s sold as a single, it’s meant to be worn as an asymmetrical accent, not a matching set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Stargaze Earring stay in place or does it fall out easily?
Yes, the Stargaze Earring is designed to stay securely in place. The hook goes through your piercing and its curve rests over the top of your ear's cartilage, using gentle tension to keep it from falling out. It's surprisingly stable for everyday movement.
Can I wear my 14k gold Stargaze Earring in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can wear your 14k gold earring in the shower. Solid gold doesn’t tarnish from water. We do suggest taking it off before swimming in pools or oceans, as chlorine and salt can be harsh on the metal and stones over long periods.
Does the Stargaze Earring work for any ear piercing location?
This earring is designed specifically for a standard lobe piercing. You thread the hook through the lobe, and the long bar hangs down while the top of the hook rests against the inside of your upper ear cartilage. It's not intended for helix or other cartilage piercings.
What happens if I receive my Stargaze Earring and I don't like how it fits?
