The line weight of these earrings isn't uniform. It's thick and rounded at the bottom curve and tapers up to a fine, sharp point. This gives the simple drop shape a bit of life and direction as it sits on the ear.
You're looking at a pair of small, open-frame gold earrings. The shape is a stylized teardrop with a sharp point at the top and a full, rounded base. The 14k gold is polished completely smooth, so it reflects light along its entire surface, especially on the bottom curve. There are two of them, a matched set, with a faint, soft reflection on the surface below.
We make these from a solid block of 14 karat gold, so they're not plated or filled. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys like silver and copper. We do this for a reason. The alloys make the gold much more durable for daily wear, which means you don't have to be too precious with them. It also means the gold colour will never chip, flake, or wear away. Because it's solid, it's a very good choice for sensitive skin.

These are for when you want something more than a basic ball stud but don't want a hoop or a dangling earring. The open shape has more presence on the earlobe than a simple dot, but the earring is still very small and lightweight. They're just simple, solid gold shapes for everyday.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 14k gold drop earrings irritate my sensitive ears?
It's unlikely. Our 14k gold earrings are made from solid gold, which is generally hypoallergenic and a safe choice for people with metal sensitivities. Unlike plated jewellery, there's no base metal underneath that could be exposed over time and cause a reaction. Most people find 14k gold comfortable for continuous wear.
Can I wear my gold drop earrings in the shower or while I sleep?
Yes, you can. Because they're solid 14k gold, water won't damage them, and they're small enough that they shouldn't be uncomfortable to sleep in. We do suggest taking them out occasionally to clean the earring and your piercing with a gentle soap to remove any buildup of skin oils or products.
How will these small gold drop earrings sit on a thicker earlobe?
They should sit flat and comfortably, even on thicker earlobes. The post is a standard length, and the open-frame design is very lightweight. The earring itself will simply rest on the surface of your earlobe, so its thickness won't affect how the front of the earring looks.
What happens if I receive the gold drop earrings and they aren't what I expected?
You can return them within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange, provided they are in their original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions to make the process easy.
