925 sterling silver leverback earrings set with round-cut cubic zirconia, built in a compact drop style where the stone sits just below the ear. The setting is slightly flared at the base, giving the stone a bit of presence without making the earring feel bulky. 💠
The stones are round-cut and secured in a multi-prong setting, allowing light through the sides while keeping them firmly seated. The profile is low and wearable—nothing oversized or exaggerated here.
These use a leverback closure, where the curved wire passes through the ear and locks into a hinged back piece. It’s one of the more secure everyday closures—no loose backs, no slipping. 🔒
Marked “925 DQ CZ”.
