This earring is a stud and a threader in one. A ruby drop hangs from the front, but the magic is the long chain that threads through your ear and dangles down your neck, creating two distinct lines of gold that move with you.

A round 14k gold stud, bisected with a sharp line of white enamel, sits on the lobe. Below it, a short chain connects to a square gold frame holding a rectangular, fuchsia-coloured ruby. The main feature is the long threader chain that passes through the piercing, ending in a straight bar. A second, shorter chain connects the two parts, creating a soft loop.

We use 14-karat solid gold, which means it’s 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. It won't flake or turn your skin funny colours, even if you wear it constantly. The ruby is a genuine stone, cut into a clean baguette shape that shows off its deep magenta colour. The whole piece is solid, not plated, which means the warm gold colour is there to stay. It's jewellery made to be worn, not just kept in a box.

  • Material: 14k Solid Gold, Ruby, Enamel
  • Dimensions: Chain length is 5.5 inches
  • Sold As: Single earring
  • Warranty: 2 year warranty

This piece gives you the look of a curated ear with just one piercing. You get the stability of a stud at the front, but the length and movement of a threader behind the ear. It’s a single earring that does the work of two or three separate pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the double chain on the Single Ruby Threader Stud sit? Does it get tangled?

The double chain is designed to drape naturally. The shorter chain creates a loop in front, while the longer threader chain hangs straight behind your ear. The weight of the solid gold bar at the end helps prevent it from tangling during normal wear.

Can I shower or sleep with my 14k gold threader earring in?

Yes, you can shower in your 14k gold threader. Solid gold doesn't tarnish or discolour from water. However, we recommend removing it before sleeping to avoid snagging the long chain on your bedding, which could damage the earring or your piercing.

Will the 5.5-inch chain on this threader stud be too long for a second or third lobe piercing?

The 5.5-inch chain works well in any lobe piercing, including higher ones. In a first piercing, it will hang down near the collarbone on most people. In a second or third piercing, it sits a bit higher, creating a nice layered effect with other earrings.
