If you spend your weekends exploring the trails here in BC, the Garden Earrings offer a subtle way to carry that feeling into your work week. They capture the gentle movement of a climbing vine, scaled for everyday wear.
These are open-hoop earrings featuring a smooth, polished gold wire base. Small, finely detailed gold leaves branch off along the outer curve, mimicking a growing stem. The earrings secure with standard posts and flower-shaped push-backs, which means they stay firmly in place while adding a tiny hidden detail behind your ear.
We cast these in 14-karat solid yellow gold. Solid gold means the metal is the same all the way through, which means the colour will never rub off or fade over time. 14-karat gold is exactly 58.3% pure gold, mixed with reinforcing metals like silver and copper. Pure gold on its own is far too soft for daily use. Adding these other metals gives the earrings the strength they need to hold the shape of the fine leaves without bending.
- Sold as: A complete pair
- Material: 14-karat solid yellow gold
- Style: Open hoop with botanical leaf details
- Closure: Post with flower-shaped push-back

These hoops are a great choice if you want something more interesting than a plain gold circle. The botanical theme feels organic and relaxed. They sit comfortably on the lobe, making them an easy, low-maintenance option for your regular rotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear these in the shower?
Yes. Because they're solid 14-karat gold, water won't cause the metal to rust or tarnish. But soap and shampoo residue can build up around the tiny leaves, which means you'll want to clean them regularly to keep the gold shining.
Are these heavy on the ears?
Not at all. The wire design keeps the overall weight quite low. They're designed for daily wear, which means they won't pull or stretch your earlobes even if you keep them in from morning until night.
How do I clean the leaf details?
Soak them in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft baby toothbrush to gently brush around the leaves. This removes daily oils and keeps your solid gold bright.
