Round & Pear Drop Earrings 14k Gold Lab Grown Diamond

Round at the ear. Pear below. Two shapes doing two different jobs.

Hallow bezel for the diamond to catch light and shine bright wherever you turn. Round brilliant diamond sitting on the ear lobe holding the piece. Beneath it hangs a larger pear, and that stone does the moving. Long enough to read from across a room, short enough that you can wear them through a whole dinner and forget they are there.

✦ Diamond Specifications

• Stones: A round brilliant lab-grown diamond at the ear, suspending a larger pear-cut lab-grown diamond below
• Clarity: VS+, eye-clean
• Color: EF+, near-colorless and bright white
• Cut: Excellent
• Carat weight: 3.6 ctw
• Setting: Prong-set, with the pear hung on an articulated link so it swings freely beneath the stud

The pairing is deliberate. A round brilliant scatters fire in every direction, which is what you want at the top where the earring sits still. A pear concentrates light toward its point, which is what you want at the bottom where the stone is in motion. Two stones, two behaviours, one continuous line.

✦ Metal & Construction

• Solid 14k gold throughout, in yellow or white. Not plated, not filled, not vermeil.
• The pear is not fixed to the stud. It hangs on its own link, which is why the drop moves independently when you turn your head rather than swinging as one rigid unit.
• The round sits low and flush in a prong basket, so the weight of the drop below does not tip the stud forward through the evening.
• Push backs on both posts. Seat them firmly before you go out, since a hanging stone puts steady downward load on the back.
• Built for your order in your chosen metal.

✦ How to Wear It

Hair up, or tucked behind one ear for the asymmetric version. These are drops with a defined vertical, and the effect disappears entirely under loose hair.

Skip the necklace. The pear already draws the eye down toward the collarbone, so anything sitting at the throat competes for the same real estate and both pieces lose. A high or square neckline works beautifully because the drop supplies the movement the neckline does not. If you want to repeat the shape rather than crowd it, the Evangeline Pear Drop echoes the same silhouette lower down without sitting in the way. And if you already own the Martini Studs in pear, put them in the other ear for a deliberately mismatched evening.

✦ Why Lab-Grown Diamonds

• Chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds. Same carbon lattice, same 10 on the Mohs scale, same fire.
• Graded against the same 4Cs by the same gemological standards, which is how we can hold every stone to EF colour and VS clarity.
• Traceable origin. You know exactly where each diamond came from.
• Meaningfully better value, and in a two-stone drop that value pays for the harder part: four stones matched across two ears so both sides read identical.

✦ Perfect For

• Black-tie, galas and the dinner where you want to arrive already finished.
• Your own wedding, worn with a bare neckline instead of a necklace.
• The evening you are being celebrated, promoted, or handed something.
• On camera. A moving stone catches studio light in a way a flat stud never will.
• Milestone birthdays, especially the ones you are hosting yourself.

✦ Care & Longevity

• Solid 14k gold will not tarnish or fade. It only needs cleaning.
• Warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Work into the link between the two stones, which is where residue quietly collects and where the drop's movement can start to feel stiff.
• Never sleep in them. A hanging stone caught in hair or pressed against a pillow puts direct strain on the link and the push back.
• No showering, no swimming. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold.
• On last, after perfume, hairspray and sunscreen. Off first, before you take your makeup off.
• Store them hanging or lying flat in your AVRA box so the pears are not pressed sideways against anything.
