Oxidized Sterling Silver and 14k Yellow Gold Teardrop Earrings

Bold and balanced, these Oxidized Sterling Silver and 14k Yellow Gold Teardrop Earrings offer a striking contrast between shadow and shine. Made by hand with precision and purpose, each earring features a sculptural teardrop silhouette that speaks to both timeless elegance and modern edge.

Designed for those who gravitate toward statement jewelry, these earrings aren't quiet. The deep, matte finish of oxidized sterling silver brings texture and depth, while polished 14k yellow gold highlights create a soft gleam that catches the light with every movement. The juxtaposition of darkened silver against warm yellow gold gives the piece an earthy sophistication that feels simultaneously ancient and architectural.

The teardrop shape—a classic in fine jewelry—takes on a sculptural quality here, thanks to thoughtful handcrafting and the interplay of mixed metals. They dangle just enough to create motion and presence, without being overly heavy or cumbersome. These aren’t delicate drops. They’re powerfully refined.

Designed with Intention

Each element of these 14k gold teardrop earrings is deliberate. The oxidized sterling silver forms the base, lending a bold, smoky undertone. This process enhances the natural character of the metal, creating subtle variation in tone and texture—no two pairs are exactly alike.

The 14k yellow gold accents add richness and warmth. Applied by hand, the gold elements bring balance and brightness to the darker foundation. It's a blend of opposites that feels harmonious and grounded.

Perfect for collectors of artisan jewelry, these earrings bring together refined craftsmanship and everyday versatility.
