Most people don't think about the back of an earring, but we did. Instead of a standard clutch, we used a small, flower-shaped backing. Itβs a detail for you, a little secret that sits flat and comfortable against the earlobe.
This is a pair of classic pearl studs. Each earring features a single, round freshwater pearl set on a solid 14k rose gold post. The pearls are smooth with a soft, consistent lustre. The butterfly backing is shaped like a small four-leaf clover, which gives the earring its "Blossom" name. The rose gold is polished to a warm, high shine.
We use solid 14 karat gold, which means itβs 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. You can feel the weight of it. Solid gold won't flake or fade like plating, so you can wear these every day without worry. It's also hypoallergenic, which means itβs a good choice for anyone with sensitive skin. The pearls are natural freshwater, so each one is slightly unique, not a factory-made bead.
- Material: Solid 14k rose gold
- Gemstone: Natural freshwater pearl
- Closure: Butterfly back
- Sold as: A pair
These are the earrings you grab without a second thought. The pearl size is just right for a primary piercing, but small enough to work in a second or third hole without looking crowded. And the custom blossom-shaped back is actually more secure and easier to handle than a standard tiny clutch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Pearl Blossom Earring have a flower-shaped back instead of a normal one?
The flower-shaped backing provides a more secure and comfortable fit. Its wider surface area distributes pressure more evenly on the earlobe and helps prevent the stud from drooping. It also makes the backing easier to grip when you're putting the earrings on or taking them off.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 14k gold Pearl Blossom Earrings?
Yes, you can shower in your 14k gold earrings, but we'd recommend taking them off. While the gold is fine, repeated exposure to soaps and chemicals can dull the lustre of the freshwater pearls. It's also safer to remove earrings before sleeping to avoid snagging them or bending the posts.
Are the Pearl Blossom Earrings a good size for a second or third earlobe piercing?
Yes, they're a great size for second or third piercings. The pearls are subtle enough that they won't feel crowded next to other jewellery, and the solid gold posts are a standard thickness. The secure, flat backing also helps them sit comfortably in tighter spots on the ear.
