A clear cubic zirconia sits caged inside a small silver crown, and a small cross stands on top of it. These gothic crown dangle earrings are .925 sterling silver from the hooks down to the base of each crown, and they come as a pair. Each crown is 12 mm wide and 17 mm tall.
Who This Is Actually For
If your style runs gothic — Every recess in these crown earrings is darkened, so from a few feet away the crown reads as black-and-silver lacework. Up close, the clear stone inside is the only bright point. It suits an outfit that is mostly black.
If you wear one earring, not two — The pair splits easily. One crown, hanging about 32 mm from the top of its hook, is enough on a single ear. The second earring waits in your jewelry box as a spare.
If you're buying a crown piece as a gift — The cross on top gives it the outline of a royal crown from European history. Both ear wires are .925 sterling silver too, so the person who unwraps them gets sterling from end to end.
What It's Like to Use (The Honest Take)
The crown hangs from a twisted rope loop above the cross. That loop threads onto a small ring at the end of the hook. So the crown swings freely and turns a little when you move your head.
The stone sits deep inside, behind the arches. You see it in flashes, between two arches and then gone, more than as a steady sparkle. If you want a stone that faces forward all day, a stud with the stone set in front does that better.
Each arch carries a line of tiny raised beads, polished bright. The spaces between them are darkened on purpose (that is what oxidized means), and the base band repeats the beading along its edges. At 12 mm wide, the crown is about as wide as a fingernail. It still has real depth, roughly 9 mm across the middle. From the side, it looks like a round little crown, just as it does from the front.
With months of wear, the beads and arch edges get brighter where they rub, and the recesses stay dark. That contrast is the look, so skip silver dips, because they strip the black. A soft polishing cloth on the high points is enough, and we include one with every jewelry order. Dust that settles around the stone comes out with a soft toothbrush and mild soapy water.
The Specs — And What They Actually Mean
Questions You're Probably Asking
Q: How long do these crown earrings hang from the ear?
Each earring hangs about 32 mm from the top of the hook to the base of the crown. About 15 mm of that is the sterling silver fish-hook ear wire, down to the round loop. The crown itself is 17 mm tall and 12 mm wide, with a small cross on top.
Q: What is the clear stone inside the crown?
It's a clear cubic zirconia, one round faceted stone set inside each crown. Cubic zirconia is a lab-created crystal that rates about 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it resists everyday scratches. Because it sits behind the beaded arches, it flashes as the crown turns.
Q: Are the ear hooks sterling silver too?
Yes. Both fish-hook ear wires are .925 sterling silver, the same metal as the crowns. A 925 stamp shows on the flattened front of the hook in our photos. Each wire has a small coil near its loop and an open end that passes through the piercing, so there is no back to lose.
Q: Why does the crown have a cross on top?
A cross on top of a European crown traditionally stands for the Christian character of the monarchy. St Edward's Crown, made in 1661 for Charles II, is topped by a small orb and a cross. Many European royal crowns share that broad design. On these earrings, the small cross sits right on the crown.
