These are threaders, which means they don't have a back. A fine gold chain slides through your piercing and balances itself, with a pavé link at the front and a straight gold bar dangling behind you. The movement is what makes them.
You're looking at a pair of gold threader earrings. Each one is built on a long, delicate cable chain designed to loop through your ear. At the front hang two interlocked, paperclip-style links. The top link is pavé-set with tiny cubic zirconia stones that catch light from every angle. The bottom link is just smooth, high-polish gold. The other end of the chain is a thin, solid gold bar that acts as a counterweight.
We make these from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys, which means they're tough enough for daily wear and won't tarnish or turn your skin a different colour. It's a good choice if you have sensitive ears. The stones aren't diamonds; they are high-grade cubic zirconia, cut to give you that bright, sharp sparkle. We set each one by hand.
- Material: Solid 14K Gold

- Style: Threader Earring

People choose these when they want the length and movement of a drop earring without the weight or the fuss of a hook. The threader design is self-balancing and secure. The two different link textures — one pavé, one polished — give you a lot of visual interest in a very lightweight piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the chain on the Elle Earrings get tangled in my hair?
It's possible, especially with long hair worn down. The chain is very fine. To avoid tangles, we suggest being mindful when wearing them or tying your hair back. The solid bar at the end helps weigh the back down, which keeps the chain straight and reduces the chance of it catching.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14K gold Elle Earrings on?
Yes, you can shower in them, as solid 14K gold is not damaged by water. We don't recommend sleeping in them, though. The long chain and bar can get caught on your bedding or feel uncomfortable, and you risk bending the post or pulling on your piercing overnight.
How long are the Elle Earrings and how do they sit in the ear?
The total length of the chain allows for a significant drop on both sides of your earlobe. You can customize the look by adjusting how much chain you pull through your piercing — letting the pavé link hang lower or sit right up against your lobe for two different styles.
