This earring threads right through your ear, with a solid gold bar at one end to anchor it. The chain is so fine that you get the feeling of length and movement, but with almost no weight on your lobe.
This is a threader earring, designed to be pulled through the piercing. It starts with a simple hook that blends into a delicate, polished cable chain. About halfway down hangs a small, round charm with a white enamel inlay and a gold spiral at its centre. The chain continues, ending in a straight, solid gold bar that acts as a counterweight.
We make these from solid 14k gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that add strength, which means the earring can be this delicate without being too fragile. Solid gold won't tarnish or have its colour rub off over time. The swirl is hard enamel, which is coloured glass fused to the gold, so it's durable and the white will stay bright.
- Material: 14k solid gold
- Detail: White and gold enamel
- Sold as a pair of earrings
People who like the look of long earrings but not the weight are usually drawn to this design. Because it's mostly just a fine chain, it's incredibly light. You get the length and movement you want, but you'll probably forget you're even wearing them. The threader style is also very secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Swirl Drop Threader earring stay in my ear without a back?
The earring stays in place due to its design. You thread the chain through until it's balanced, with the long, solid gold bar at the back acting as a counterweight. The length and weight distribution keep it securely in place and prevent it from accidentally falling out during normal wear.
Is it safe to shower or sleep while wearing the 14k gold Swirl Drop Threaders?
Yes, you can shower in them. Solid 14k gold is durable and won't be damaged by water. We don't recommend sleeping in them, though. The long, fine chain could get tangled in your hair or bedding, which might cause it to pull on your piercing or break.
Will the Swirl Drop Threader work if I have multiple lobe piercings?
Yes, they often look great with multiple piercings. You can wear it in your first lobe hole and let it hang, or you can get creative and loop the chain through a second piercing for a different look. Just be gentle when threading it to avoid irritating other piercing sites.
