The Gold and Silver Threader Earrings bring a sleek marquise shape to the classic ear threader. Each one is hand-forged in our Florida Keys studio from ethically sourced 20-gauge wire, then threads through your piercing for an elongated 2.75-inch drop. Choose sterling silver, 14K gold-filled, or 14K solid gold.
They're lightweight, need no backs, and add a polished line of shine to everything you wear.
The Marquise Shape
A marquise is a long, pointed oval, the same shape as a classic marquise-cut diamond. On these threader earrings, the wire forms an open marquise outline that elongates your look and moves gracefully as you turn your head.
Choose Your Metal
- Sterling silver ($25): bright, crisp, and easy to wear every day
- 14K gold-filled ($30): a thick layer of real gold at an everyday price
- 14K solid gold ($250): an heirloom-quality pair that never wears away

Which metal is best for sensitive ears? 14K solid gold is the best choice for very sensitive ears.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a marquise shape?
A marquise is a long oval with pointed ends, the same shape as a marquise-cut diamond. It elongates and flatters the face.
How long are these threader earrings?
These threader earrings are 2.75 inches long and 0.5 inches wide. You can wear them long or pull them up shorter.
Do threader earrings need backs?
No. Threader earrings stay in place with their own weight. A small silicone stopper can be added for extra security.
Is 14K solid gold worth it for threaders?
If you wear your threaders every day or have very sensitive ears, solid gold is worth it. It never tarnishes or wears away and lasts a lifetime.
Can I order a custom pair?
Yes. We make custom threaders in 14K solid gold. Text us at (305) 767-3185 to get started.
How do you care for gold and silver earrings?
Wipe them with a soft polishing cloth to keep them shiny, and store sterling silver in a sealed bag to slow tarnish.

Commitment to Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing
Commitment to Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing
We believe that beautiful jewelry should also be responsibly made. That’s why every piece we create is crafted with a deep commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
Ethically Sourced Precious Metals
All of our 14k gold and sterling silver comes exclusively from refiners on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) list. This means our metals are sourced from refiners who are in good legal standing and who certify—as well as independently audit—that all supplies are fully traceable and conflict-free.
Mindfully Sourced Gemstones
We prioritize transparency and ethical practices in every gemstone we use. Whenever possible, we seek out mine-to-market stones or purchase directly from small, US-based lapidaries. This approach supports responsible mining, fair labor, and small businesses within our community.
A Promise You Can Trust
From the metals we select to the stones we set, we are dedicated to ensuring our jewelry not only looks good, but does good. You can wear your piece with confidence, knowing it was made with care for both people and planet.
