Laurel Heart Hoops
Marquise-cut crystal · Gold & Silver · Free shipping · 30-day returns
A heart, drawn in light.
Dozens of marquise-cut crystals, set point to point, curve into a full heart that opens along one side. It isn't a small heart on a stud. It's the whole earring, the size of the gesture, and it catches light from every one of those angled stones at once. This is the pair you reach for when the occasion is the point.
Made for the days you'll remember
Some earrings are for Tuesdays. These are not. A heart this size, in this much crystal, belongs to the occasions worth dressing for: walking down the aisle or standing beside someone who is, a Valentine's dinner, an anniversary, prom night, the party where the photos get taken.
They're also, for the same reasons, an easy gift to get right. A heart says the thing you might not want to spell out, and crystal that throws this much light doesn't look like an afterthought. If you're buying for someone else, this is a safe yes.
How to wear them
Let them lead.
A statement this size wants room. Skip the necklace, or keep it to a fine chain that stays out of the way. The earrings are the centerpiece; everything else is a supporting role.
Hair up, or off one shoulder.
An updo, a low bun, or hair swept to the opposite side gives the full heart space to be seen. If you wear your hair down, tuck the side with the earring back so the shape doesn't get lost.
Against a clean neckline.
A strapless gown, a V-neck, an off-shoulder cut, or a simple black dress lets the crystal do the talking. Busy necklines and these earrings will fight each other.
Match your metal to your dress.
Gold reads warm and classic against ivory, champagne, black, and jewel tones. Silver reads cooler and sharper, and sits beautifully with white, icy pastels, and anything with a bit of shine of its own.
Two finishes
Gold
A warm gold-tone frame around clear crystal. The classic bridal and evening choice, and the easier of the two against ivory, champagne, and warm skin tones.
Silver
A cooler silver-tone frame where the metal nearly disappears and the crystal reads as one continuous line of light. The sharper, more modern of the two, and the natural pick with white or icy tones.
The things worth knowing
Marquise-cut, not round.
Each stone is a pointed marquise cut rather than a plain round, set point to point so the line reads like laurel leaves following the curve. It's the cut that gives the heart its shape and its shine.
Pavé density, all the way around.
The crystals run the entire heart, both sides, with no plain stretches. That's why they throw light from more than one angle as you turn your head, and why they photograph the way they do.

Questions we get
Are the stones diamonds?
No, they're marquise-cut crystals. They're what keeps a piece this size at this price while still throwing the kind of light a full pavé heart should. We'd rather say so up front than have you find out later.
Gold or silver?
Match it to what you'll wear them with. Gold is the warmer, classic bridal-and-evening choice and sits best against ivory, champagne, and warm tones. Silver is cooler and more modern, and pairs naturally with white and icy shades. When it's a gift and you're unsure, Gold is the safer bet.
Are they heavy?
They have real presence on the ear, as a statement piece this size should. If you're used to small studs, expect to feel these, in the way you feel any occasion earring. They're made to be worn for an evening, not around the clock.
Can I wear them every day?
You can, but they're built for the moments that deserve them rather than the school run. Treat them as your occasion pair and they'll stay special, and last longer, than an earring you sleep and shower in.
Can I sleep or shower in them?
Better not to. Take them off before bed, before the shower, and before the pool. See the care note below.
Taking care of them
Treat these as the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Perfume, hairspray, lotion, chlorine, and sweat are what dull crystal and wear down any plated finish over time, so let those go on first and the earrings go on last.
Wipe them gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and keep them in the pouch rather than loose in a dish where the stones can rub against other pieces. No jewelry dips, no ultrasonic cleaners, nothing abrasive near the crystals.
Try them for 30 days
Order them for the occasion, see how they photograph, see how they sit with the dress. If they're not right, send them back within 30 days for a refund. Shipping is on us both ways.
