DA-E55

A slim vertical bar drops from a curved hook to end in a single brown agate sphere, framed by a clean gold bezel. The proportion reads like a pendulum — long line, weighted circle, nothing else.

  • Material: 18k gold-plated brass, brown agate
  • Stones: Brown agate
  • Color: Brown, gold
  • Drop: 2.125 in (plus hook)
  • Closure: French hook
  • Sold as: Pair
  • Origin: USA

The drop sits well below the earlobe, so the length shows against an open neckline or pulled-back hair. A slender bar and a single stone keep the pair light — light enough to swing with the smallest movement.

Details
  • Bezel-set agate cabochon
  • Elongated linear bar silhouette
  • Secure curved fish-hook ear wires
  • Lightweight for all-day wear

Agate is a natural stone, so shade, banding and any small inclusions will vary from pair to pair.

The Story

The design leans on three shapes — a straight bar, a round bezel, a curved hook — and nothing else. Restraint like this has roots in mid-century minimalist jewelry, where line and negative space carried the piece instead of engraving or surface detail.

Bezel setting is one of the oldest ways to hold a stone: a rim of metal shaped around the cabochon and pressed down to grip it on all sides. It protects the edge better than prongs, which matters for a stone that will be worn and moved through daily life.

Each pair is assembled by hand at a jewelry studio in the USA. The agate is set into a gold-plated brass bezel, burnished closed around the stone, then soldered to the straight bar and joined to the ear wire. Plating is applied after assembly, so the finished piece carries an even luster.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Bezel-set cabochon

Keep away from water, perfume and abrasives to protect the plating. Store the pair separately in a soft pouch.

Questions

Is the gold plating durable?

The 18k plating over brass holds up well with normal wear. Like all plated jewelry, it lasts longest if you keep it away from water, perfume and lotions and store it in a soft pouch when not in use.

Are these earrings hypoallergenic?

The ear wires are gold-plated brass rather than surgical steel, so anyone with sensitive ears or metal allergies may want to factor that in before wearing them for extended periods.

How should I store these?

Store them separately in a soft pouch, away from other jewelry, so nothing scratches the agate or the plating.

Are they light enough for all-day wear?

Yes. The slim bar and single stone keep the pair light despite the elongated drop, and the curved hook is shaped to sit securely at the earlobe.
