Pearl Leverback Earring Mounting in 14K White Gold

A pair of 14K white gold leverback earring mountings with a polished, rhodium-plated finish, designed to be set with 6–6.5mm half-drilled pearls.

Leverback closures are a hinged ear-wire style developed as a more secure alternative to the traditional French hook. The lever locks against the back of the earlobe, reducing the chance of loss during daily wear, and has long been favored for drop earrings featuring fine stones or pearls. Glue-set mountings for half-drilled pearls are a standard jeweler's setting, allowing the pearl to sit flush against the cup with the post hidden inside the drilled hole.

The drop format reads as classic and feminine, suited to both everyday and dressier occasions once set. The mounting accepts a single pearl per earring, leaving room for the wearer or jeweler to choose the pearl color and quality that best fits the piece. It suits a jeweler completing a custom order or a buyer sourcing a setting for heirloom or newly purchased pearls.
