These aren't a single pair of earrings, but a set of interlocking gold and enamel links. You get one three-link stud and a few extra pieces to play with. You can build a long drop or wear a simple, single link.
On the right is a stud earring made of three oval links: the top and bottom have black and white enamel blocks, and the centre link is solid red. To its left are the other components: a single black and white link, a two-link chain in plain gold and enamel, and a single red link. The gold is polished, and the inside of every link has a delicate, criss-crossing lattice pattern.
The base metal is 14 karat solid gold, which means it’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength. This alloy makes the links durable enough for daily connecting and disconnecting without bending out of shape. It also won't tarnish, and it’s a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The colour comes from certified enamel, which is carefully painted into segments on the gold and fired to create a hard, glossy surface that won't chip or fade easily.

You'd pick this if you get bored of wearing the same thing every day. It's for people who like to tinker. You can have a long, colourful drop earring one day and a simple, single black-and-white hoop the next, all from the same set of parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the enamel on the Gold Chain Earring links chip if I connect and disconnect them often?
No, the enamel is quite durable. It's a type of glass that's fused to the 14K gold at high temperatures, creating a hard, resilient surface. While it's not indestructible, it's designed to handle the normal wear of changing up your earring configuration.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14K Gold Enamel Chain Earrings on?
We recommend taking them off before showering or sleeping. While 14K gold can handle water, soaps and shampoos can build up on the enamel and in the link mechanisms. Sleeping with them in could also put stress on the links and the post.
How do the links on the Enamel Chain Earring connect to each other?
The oval links are designed with a very small, almost invisible gap. You can gently twist a link to open this gap just enough to slide another link on or off, then twist it back. It’s a secure system that allows you to customize the length and colour combination.
What happens if I decide the Enamel Chain Earring isn't for me after I buy it?
You can return it within 30 days of receiving it, no problem. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. We just ask that the earring set is returned in its original, unworn condition.
