What is the Large Pearl earring made from?

The Large Pearl earring is made from a large teardrop glass pearl (20×13mm) suspended from a square-profile oxidised sterling silver (925) huggie hoop. Available in oxidised silver or gold plated sterling silver.

Is the Large Pearl earring sold as a pair?

It is sold by piece — add ×2 to your cart for a pair. This also allows you to wear it as a single earring, which is very much part of the design intention.

How large is the pearl on the Large Pearl earring?

The teardrop pearl measures 20×13mm — large by earring standards. Its luminous surface and teardrop silhouette give the piece its distinctive weight and presence.

What is the difference between the silver and gold versions?

The silver version uses oxidised sterling silver (925), giving the hoop a darker, more architectural finish. The gold version is gold plated sterling silver — warmer and more classical in tone, equally architectural in form.

What does the huggie hoop look like?

The hoop is square in profile — not round wire, but a solid, sleek band that sits close to the ear. It is minimal and precise, designed to hold the pearl without competing with it.

Can the Large Pearl earring be worn by men?

Yes. In Renaissance and Baroque portraiture, the single pearl earring was worn by noblemen, courtiers, and saints as a mark of status and refinement. The piece is designed without gender — it works as a singular, sculptural statement for anyone.

How long does it take to make the Large Pearl earring?

The Large Pearl earring is made to order. Please allow 10–15 business days before shipping.

Is this a limited piece?

Yes — only last items are currently available. Once sold, this design may not be restocked.

A single large teardrop pearl, suspended from a sleek huggie hoop. The hoop is square in profile — a solid, architectural band that locks securely on the ear. The combination is minimal and precise: one clean form holding one heavy pearl.

In Renaissance and Baroque portraiture, the solitary pearl earring was worn by noblemen, against dark fabric and illuminated skin. Reduced to a single gesture, the pearl becomes more sculptural, more deliberate, more intimate.

The pearl is large by earring standards — 20×13mm, teardrop-shaped. Its luminous surface and teardrop silhouette give the piece its distinctive weight and presence. Against the dark oxidised silver, it reads as both delicate and bold. The gold plated version shifts the tone entirely — warmer, more classical, equally architectural.

Worn as a singular statement alone, or as part of a layered ear.
