Description

The pear cut has always been the interesting one. Rounder than a marquise, sharper than an oval, it tapers to a point like a drop of water caught mid-fall, and it does something very flattering that round stones can't: worn with the point up or down, it draws a little line along the ear that lengthens the whole profile. The Dew studs take that shape and let it stand completely alone. One three carat pear cut cubic zirconia per ear, held in minimal claws so the gold almost disappears and the stone does all the talking.

And at 8 by 12.5 millimetres, it talks. This is not a shy stud. It's the size you notice from across the room, the one that reads finished with a slicked bun and gold hoops nowhere in sight. Yet because the shape is a soft teardrop rather than a hard geometric cut, it never tips into costume territory. It photographs like an heirloom, particularly against dark hair or a black neckline, and it carries a bare-shouldered dress at a summer wedding as confidently as it carries a white shirt on a Tuesday.

Here's the detail that matters most for a stone this size: the backs screw on. Instead of a friction butterfly that loosens with every phone call and jumper, the post is threaded and the back winds into place, so the stud sits snug against the lobe and stays exactly where you put it. Anyone who has patted their ear in a taxi and found it bare knows precisely why this matters. Screw backs are the difference between owning statement studs and actually wearing them.

The whole earring, post and back included, is stainless steel plated in 18k gold, fully waterproof and hypoallergenic. Sleep in them, shower in them, swim in them, sweat in them. Nothing tarnishes, nothing itches, and sensitive ears that sulk at mystery metals will be perfectly content. A stud this low maintenance ends up being the one you wear for three weeks straight, which is honestly the highest compliment an earring can receive.
Style them point down for the classic drop illusion, point up if you like a subtle flame of light at the lobe, and don't overthink the rest. They're the rare statement piece that needs nothing else on: hair back, studs in, done. As a gift they solve the eternal earring problem too, because there's no hook length to guess and no style risk to take. A teardrop of light suits every face that's ever worn one.

Every pair of Dew studs arrives in our white gift box with the ribbon already tied, ready for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding mornings, or a Tuesday that needed improving. And if one drop of light feels right, there's more where it came from: the studs are part of our Dew Collection, designed around the same pear cut stone, so the matching necklace is waiting whenever you're ready to complete the look.
