This isn't a shoulder duster. It's a collarbone duster. The chain is long enough to rest on your sweater or trace the line of your neck, moving with you all day long. It's an earring that you feel as well as see.
The earring starts with a triangular stud on the lobe, outlined in polished 14k gold and filled with solid white enamel. Just below, a round charm with bright red enamel hangs from a small link. In its centre is a small, raised gold dot. From this charm, a single, fine gold chain falls straight down, long enough to reach your collarbone.
We make the entire piece from 14-karat solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. This means it's durable enough for a design this delicate and won't tarnish or discolour over time. It’s also a good choice for sensitive skin. The bright red and white are hard enamel, which is powdered glass fused to the gold. This creates a smooth, permanent colour that won't fade or chip with normal wear. The whole piece has a bright, polished finish.
- Material: 14K Solid Gold, Enamel
- Sold as: A single piece
Most long earrings are sold as pairs and stop at the shoulder. We designed this one to be sold singly because the extreme length makes it a focal point on its own. It's for when you want the impact of a long earring without the weight or symmetry of a full pair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the long chain on the Single Geometric Threader Stud get tangled in my hair or clothes?
Yes, the long chain can occasionally get caught, especially in loose-knit sweaters or long hair. The chain is very fine and lightweight, so it's usually easy to gently untangle. We recommend being mindful when putting on or taking off scarves and jackets to avoid snagging it.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 14k gold and enamel earring?
Yes, you can shower in your 14k gold earring, as solid gold won't tarnish from water. However, we recommend taking it off before sleeping. The long chain could get tangled or pulled while you sleep, which might damage the delicate links or be uncomfortable for you.
Does the weight of the long chain pull on the earlobe piercing?
No, the earring is designed to be very lightweight despite its length. The chain is extremely fine and the gold charms are small, so the total weight is minimal and shouldn't cause any noticeable pull or discomfort on a standard, healed earlobe piercing.
