Fan and pearl earrings, a half-round of gold, a drop of pearl
A fan-shaped earring in 316L steel, gold PVD over the face and finished with a pearl drop. The half-round shape gives it presence from the front without length, which is what makes it wearable with a collar.
Overview
About this fan and pearl drop earrings
The fan shape earns its keep because it reads wide rather than long. It gives the ear presence from the front without a drop that catches on a collar, so it can be worn with a shirt as easily as with a dress — which is what makes a seasonal earring sell past one outfit.
The pearl drop finishes it and gives it a focal point. The gold over the fan is PVD, bonded in a vacuum rather than deposited in a tank, so it is harder and more abrasion-resistant than gold electroplate of the same colour; the posts are steel, so a sensitive lobe is not the reason to send the pair back.

FAQ
Questions about this fan and pearl drop earrings
Will the fan catch on a collar?
No — that is the reason for the half-round shape. It sits flat against the ear and reaches sideways rather than downward, so there is no long drop to tangle in a collar or a scarf. The pearl drop is short and hangs clear, which keeps the dressed-up look without the practical annoyance of a long dangle.
Are the posts safe for sensitive ears?
316L is the grade usually recommended for sensitive ears, and we can back the claim with testing rather than a promise. For Europe, EN 1811 measures nickel released from the surface rather than nickel in the alloy, with a threshold of 0.5 µg/cm²/week for prolonged skin contact. Tell us the market and we will arrange the test as its own line.
Will the gold tone wear off?
PVD wears far more slowly than gold electroplate because it is bonded in a vacuum at a molecular level and is harder, so it resists the friction at the back of the fan where plated earrings fail first. The honest limit is that any coated surface eventually wears somewhere, and we state the thickness in microns on the quotation so you know what you are buying.
