14k Yellow Gold Open Sea Turtle Stud Earrings

About this piece

These 14k yellow gold stud earrings feature a small open-silhouette sea turtle, shaped from smooth polished gold tubing with rounded flippers, a domed head, and four distinct feet — all visible detail work sitting just under half an inch across the lobe.

The open body of the turtle gives the design a light, airy quality despite being cast in solid gold, and the high-polish finish catches the light cleanly without any added stones or engraving. As shown on the model, they sit close and flush against the ear, reading as a clear turtle shape even at a small scale. The post-and-push-back closure holds the earring securely and keeps the back neat and flat.

Nickel free and compact enough for everyday wear, these translate easily from school days to casual weekends and beyond. They layer well with other small studs in a second or third piercing, and the polished gold surface stays bright with a quick wipe of a soft cloth.
