Minimalist in appearance but ingenious in construction, these vintage coral earrings create a sculptural front-back silhouette. A round coral bead rests at the front of the lobe while an angled 14K yellow gold connector carries a smooth teardrop coral bead below and behind it.
Both coral elements unscrew completely from the gold connector. Remove one end to pass the angled post through the piercing, then screw the coral securely back into place. Although either end can technically face forward, the intended orientation places the round bead at the lobe and the teardrop behind it.
