An ear crawler climbs the lobe instead of hanging from it, so it reads as one continuous line of light rather than a single point. This pair alternates 46 round brilliant diamonds with 18 round emeralds, and the green sits deep against the warmth of yellow gold — the metal that has always flattered emerald best.

Emerald is beryl colored by chromium and vanadium. It is a stone with character: inclusions are expected rather than penalized, and the trade calls them the jardin. At Mohs 7.5 to 8 it is durable enough for regular wear, though it prefers warm soapy water to an ultrasonic cleaner.

May birthstone and the traditional twentieth anniversary stone. Because a crawler sits flat and secure against the ear, this is one of the few statement earrings you can genuinely wear from morning to evening.
