14k Yellow Gold Enamel Sea Turtle Stud Earrings

About this piece

These 14k yellow gold stud earrings are shaped as a sea turtle, secured with a post-and-push-back closure and sized to sit neatly at the earlobe. Each earring is cast with an open-framework shell that holds brown enamel fill across the individual scute sections, creating a warm contrast against the polished and milgrain-edged gold surround. The head, four flippers, and tail are rendered in fine detail, giving the piece a clear, recognizable silhouette visible even at the small scale the on-ear photo confirms.

The earrings wear as a matched pair of button studs — compact enough for everyday use yet detailed enough to draw a second look. The brown enamel reads as rich and deep against the yellow gold, making them equally at home with casual summer dressing or layered into an ear stack alongside simple hoops or other small studs.

Because the enamel surface is set within a protective gold border, the pieces hold up well to daily wear. When cleaning, a soft dry cloth or gentle wipe with a damp cloth keeps both the gold and the enamel looking their best; avoid ultrasonic cleaners to preserve the enamel fill.
