The Pear and Round Diamond Vintage Drop Huggie Earrings
Fine Jewelry | Made to order
Interlocking gold hoops, a bar of pavé running through them, and two shaped diamonds hanging below — a pear on one side, a round on the other. The most worked of the pieces, and the most playful.
The Piece
Each earring layers a pair of gold hoops over a diagonal bar of pavé rounds, with a shaped diamond drop swinging free beneath. Across the pair, one drop is a pear and one is a round, so the earrings are a set rather than a mirror image. There is a lot happening, held together by the clean line of the hoops.

Why This Piece
A matched pair is easy. Giving one earring a pear and the other a heart makes them a set you notice — the kind of small decision that turns a drop earring into a signature.
Designed to Be Lived In
Every Alva piece is made by hand in 14k gold and lab-grown diamonds, and made to order after you place it. It is not set aside for occasions — it is measured by the years of wear ahead of it, not the moment it was bought.
Care
What's good is worn, not kept safe. A softened edge or a faint scratch is not damage; it is evidence of a life lived in it.
| Wearing it | Put it on last, after lotion and perfume have dried. Take it off first, before swimming, heavy exercise, or exposure to household chemicals. |
| Cleaning it | Clean with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic cleaners on delicate settings and abrasive polishes altogether. |
| Storing it | Store separately so metal does not scratch metal. |
| Professional care | Have the setting checked once a year. White gold may need replating every few years; yellow and rose gold simply deepen in color instead. |

Cared for simply, a piece settles further into a life, and the mark it takes on becomes part of what it is worth.
