Drop Earrings

Drop earrings ‘drop’ just below the earlobe. Their ‘hanger’ also typically has an O-shaped ring attached to the drop piece. They are simple, delicate and offer an understated yet gorgeous look.

Drop earrings do not move when you walk or sway your head. While they do not crave the spotlight like a longer, dangling earring, they exude a subtle elegance that adds a touch of je ne sais quoi to any look.

At BAUNAT, choose drop earrings in white gold, yellow gold, red gold or platinum.

Yellow Gold

This precious metal consists of pure gold mixed with alloys such as copper for a warmer tone and silver and palladium to a paler colour. Its colour is perfect for a classic feeling of luxury!

Yellow gold comes in varying levels of purity, measured in karat (or kt). The most alloys for gold are 18kt (75% pure gold) and 24kt (99.9% pure gold). Other purity levels available include 9kt (37.5%), 14kt (58.3%) and 22kt (91.7%).

While a higher karat count is purer, it also makes the precious metal less durable. That's why jewellers tend to use 18kt, 14kt, or 9kt for jewellery that should last long-term. Like a striking engagement ring or wedding ring.
