The top circle sits still on your earlobe, almost like a simple stud. But from its base, a long, fine chain hangs down, catching light and moving with you. It’s a design of two distinct halves: one fixed, one in constant, quiet motion.
A polished gold circle sits on the earlobe, acting as the earring's post. Dangling from the bottom are three small, interlocking rings with a textured, faceted finish that catches the light. From there, a long and very delicate cable chain drops down, ending with a single tiny, smooth ring that mirrors the one at the top.
We make this earring from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means it’s durable enough to support the fine chain without easily breaking. Because it's solid gold all the way through, the warm yellow colour won't ever chip or fade away. It's also a good choice for sensitive skin, as there's no nickel and the gold itself is quite inert. This piece will keep its colour for good.

This earring gives you the length and movement of a shoulder-duster, but it’s so lightweight you’ll forget it’s there. The chain is incredibly fine, so it doesn't feel like a heavy dangle. It’s a way to wear a long earring that’s more about a flicker of light than a bold shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the fine chain on this Single Short Minimalist Earring get tangled in my hair?
The chain is very fine, so it can sometimes get caught in hair, especially if you wear your hair down. The polished gold and smooth links help it slide free more easily than a rougher chain would. We recommend tying your hair back if you're doing something very active.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14k gold earring in?
Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold earring. Solid gold isn't damaged by water. However, we suggest taking it off before sleeping. The long chain could get caught on your bedding and pull on your piercing, which can be uncomfortable or damage the delicate chain over time.
How does the stud part of this earring fit on a thicker earlobe?
The earring has a standard-length post that fits most earlobes comfortably. The circle stud is designed to sit flat against the skin. If you have particularly thick lobes or have had trouble with standard posts before, you can measure your piercing's thickness and contact us to confirm the fit.
