Questions about this piece
Can you wear heart jewelry without it looking like Valentine's Day?
Yes, and two things decide it: color and how many. A heart in red, pink or bright enamel reads as the holiday, while a plain gold one reads as a shape, the same way a star or a shell does, and nobody files it under February. The other half is restraint, because a heart necklace worn with heart earrings and a heart ring is where it tips over into a theme. These hang one gold heart charm from each ear, which is the version that goes to work on an ordinary Tuesday.
What are charm earrings?
Earrings with a small pendant hung from the post or hoop so that it swings, as opposed to a shape fixed rigidly into the body of the earring. That movement is the difference you actually notice: a charm shifts and catches light as you turn your head, where a soldered shape stays exactly where it was put. It also means the charm hangs plumb no matter what angle your ear sits at, so it always presents face-on. The charm on these is a heart.
How long are these earrings?
About 2.5 inches top to bottom. At that length the heart lands somewhere down by your jawline rather than sitting up at the lobe, which is why these register as a drop earring from across a room instead of something a person has to be standing next to you to see. The other thing 2.5 inches buys you is clearance: the charm hangs below a shirt collar or the rolled neck of a sweater instead of getting swallowed behind one, which is where shorter drops tend to vanish in cold weather. They are 18k gold plated.
