The Convex and Trendy Design of Drop-Shaped Earrings

With their height of 17 mm, these drop-shaped earrings are a major trend in modern jewelry ("chunky teardrop" style). They provide a bold three-dimensional volume that dresses the ear on its own.

This 18k yellow gold drop earring format is ideal for all occasions:

• As a Unique Pair: Worn alone, these liquid gold drops instantly brighten a casual look with jeans and a white blouse.
• For Evening Wear: They add a touch of architectural sophistication worthy of the biggest fashion shows.

Workshop Transparency: Generous and Light Volume on the Lobe

True to our promise of Direct Workshop transparency, we offer full visibility into the design of our jewelry. An 18k gold teardrop earring 17 mm high that was entirely solid would weigh more than 15 grams per ear, which would be painful and deform the lobe.

To offer you this generous volume while guaranteeing exceptional wearing comfort, our teardrop earrings are designed using the "Closed-back Inflated Gold" technique. The 18k gold front dome houses a light air cavity, while the back of the earring is sealed by a flat, smooth, and polished gold plate. Weighing approximately 3.05 grams per pair, they offer spectacular three-dimensional relief while remaining incredibly light on the lobe.

The posts are equipped with 18k gold Belgian butterfly backs that keep the earring perfectly straight and secure throughout the day. To complete your jewelry box, also discover our selection of 18k gold necklaces and bracelets.

❓ FAQ: All About Drop Earrings

Are these gold teardrop earrings hollow or solid?

For your comfort, these 17 mm earrings are made using the Inflated Gold technique. They feature a polished 18k gold dome and a back closed by a flat gold plate. This allows for a spectacular yet very light (~3.05 g per pair) gold drop earring that does not pull on the earlobe.

Can I sleep with these teardrop earrings?

No, we strongly advise you to remove your drop earrings before sleeping. As its yellow gold structure is a delicate hollow shell, prolonged pressure of your head on the pillow during sleep could irreversibly bend or crush the gold dome.

How do I clean the mirror-polished shine of my drop earrings?

To remove fingerprints or cosmetic product residue, simply immerse your drop-shaped earrings in lukewarm soapy water (mild soap), gently rub with a soft damp cloth, then dry immediately with a chamois cloth to restore an impeccable mirror finish.
