Description

Sleek, modern, and unmistakably sculptural, the Clear Teardrop Ear Cuff is a signature Alan Crocetti design that blurs the line between jewellery and art. Handcrafted in Portugal from solid 925 sterling silver, this refined ear cuff is finished in luminous rhodium vermeil, offering a mirror-like brilliance with enduring durability.

At its centre, a high-quality clear zirconia teardrop creates an elegant illusion drop that falls delicately behind the ear. The fluid silhouette is engineered to catch and reflect light from every angle, delivering a sense of movement and subtle drama without the need for a piercing. Designed for versatility, this ear cuff elevates both minimalist looks and layered ear compositions with effortless sophistication.

A contemporary statement rooted in craftsmanship, the Clear Teardrop Ear Cuff embodies the Alan Crocetti ethos — bold yet refined, futuristic yet timeless.

How to wear the signature ear cuff

1) Position the cuff
Hold the cuff with the opening facing you. Place it over the thinnest rim of the ear (the upper helix) and slide it gently into place.

2) Secure the fit
Guide the inner arm of the cuff behind the rim so it straddles the ear naturally. Rotate slightly to follow the ear’s curve, it should settle without force

3) Adjust comfortably
Slide the cuff until it sits in the "sweet spot", secure yet light. It must never be bent, especially when set with zirconia, as this can loosen stones or damage the design.

Care

Plated jewellery has a thin layer of precious metal over another solid metal, which can rub off with constant contact with your skin. Continual exposure to sweat, water, perfumes, and chemicals found in toiletries can tarnish plated jewellery. To extend the life of your plated pieces, follow these simple care instructions:

  • Always take your plated jewellery off before sleeping to avoid friction against your skin.
  • Keep your jewellery dry. If it gets wet, wipe it immediately with a paper towel.
  • Avoid contact with chemicals like chlorine, nail polish remover, soaps, or perfumes, as these can damage the metal coating.
  • Remove your jewellery before intense physical activity to prevent exposure to sweat.
  • Store each piece in a separate plastic bag to reduce tarnishing and prevent the thin plated layer from rubbing or scratching.

Frequently asked questions

1. What metals does Alan Crocetti use?

All pieces are crafted in 925 sterling silver. Some are finished with gold plating for warmth or rhodium plating for extra brightness and protection.

2. Are pearls real?

YES. Alan Crocetti uses cultured pearls in natural white, pink, black, and lavender. Each pearl is unique and adds softness to the sculptural design. The brand also uses Mother of Pearl, valued for its iridescent glow and refined exclusivity.

3. Are lab-grown gemstones used?

YES. Alan Crocetti uses lab-created emeralds, rubies, moissanite, and diamonds. They have the same brilliance and chemistry as natural gems in their purest form, and are produced sustainably and ethically — affirming their place within fine jewellery.

4. What are semi-precious stones?

Semi-precious stones are natural gems used for their beauty and symbolic value. In Alan Crocetti collections, these include:

• Amethyst (purple): creativity, protection

• Citrine (yellow): joy, abundance

• Topaz (blue/yellow): clarity, strength

• Onyx (black): grounding, power

• Peridot (green): renewal, growth

• Garnet (red): passion, vitality

5. What is zirconia, and what quality is used?

Zirconia (cubic zirconia, CZ) is a lab-created diamond alternative. Alan Crocetti uses only 5A grade zirconia, the highest quality: flawless clarity, precision cut, and diamond-like brilliance.

• Colours used: clear, black, blue, green, red, pink, purple, yellow.

6. Can clients adjust or bend the jewellery to fit?

Although sterling silver is a malleable metal, we do not recommend pressing, bending, or pulling pieces to adjust them. This can weaken soldering points, loosen stones, or distort the design.

Key Note: Each piece is handcrafted as a sculpture. If resizing or adjustments are needed, recommend professional service instead of forcing the piece.
