Oxidised drop earrings on a brass body, blackened and then polished back and coloured stones. Three stones stack down its length. They measure about 1.5 inches.
A drop earring hangs its weight below the lobe rather than resting on it, which lengthens the face and keeps the design moving as the wearer does.
Three stones stack down the length of the earring. Reading top to bottom, the sizes grow, which is what stops a vertical design from looking like a list.
Each stone is held in a bezel — a continuous rim of metal folded over the edge rather than claws gripping it. A bezel is the most secure setting there is and the least likely to catch on cloth.
The stones are oval, the quietest of the faceted shapes and the easiest to wear.
The stones are faceted rather than polished smooth, so they return points of light rather than a single sheen.
The metal is brass with a German silver finish. German silver contains no silver at all — it is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc that happens to be silver-white, and it has been used for Indian tribal and oxidised jewellery for well over a century because it takes a blackening beautifully.
The coloured stone is Monalisa — the Indian trade name for a translucent glass stone, cut and polished so it holds a soft internal glow rather than a hard sparkle. Against dark oxidised metal that softness is exactly right; a brilliant-cut crystal would look wrong here.
There are 9 colourways: White, Multi Color, Ruby, Blue, Green, Red, Baby Pink, Black and Sea Green. The swatches on this page show them; the shade you choose is confirmed on your enquiry before anything is charged.
Keep the throat bare and let them hang clear. A drop earring is the cheapest way to lengthen a face, and it only works if nothing crowds it.
A note on what this is not: it is not hallmarked, it is not precious metal, and it has no resale value. Keyura sells it as what it is — a well-made plated piece with good stones, priced accordingly and described without the word gold doing any work it has not earned.
Treat the finish as the wearing part. Keep it away from water, perfume and hair spray, put the earrings on after you have finished dressing, and wipe them with a dry cotton cloth before they go away. Stored dry in a zip pouch with the air pressed out, the finish lasts for years; left in a humid bathroom it will not last a season.
This piece is listed for enquiry rather than instant checkout. Stock runs in small lots per colour and turns over quickly, so rather than take your money and refund it later we confirm the shade is in hand first. Use the enquiry button on this page and we will come back with availability, the final price and a delivery window. All Keyura orders are prepaid. Cash on delivery is not offered anywhere on this site.
