Sterling Silver Black & White CZ Teardrop Drop Earrings

About this piece

These sterling silver drop earrings feature a pavé-set teardrop form that suspends from a polished oval bail, secured with a post and push-back closure. The teardrop itself is layered in concentric rows: an inner field of black cubic zirconia stones gives way to a narrow open channel, then two outer rows of clear white cubic zirconia that follow the teardrop's silhouette all the way around. The contrast between the deep black center and the bright white border gives the piece a graphic clarity that reads well at a distance.

The bail is hinged, allowing the teardrop to move freely and catch light as the wearer moves — a detail visible in the side-profile photo. At just over 21 mm in total length, the earrings sit close enough to the ear to work under hair or alongside other earrings without competing for space.

The polished silver-tone finish keeps the metal quiet against the stones, letting the black-and-white contrast do the work. They wear easily from desk to dinner, and because the setting is fully pavéd rather than open-backed, routine wiping with a soft cloth is all the care they typically need.
