Circular Crystal Threader Earrings | 14k Gold Filled
Add modern elegance and subtle sparkle to your look with these black crystal threader earrings. Designed with 14k gold-filled chain ear thread earrings, faceted black crystals, sterling silver bead accents, and a handcrafted Argentium® silver circular ring that is individually welded by hand, this design showcases graceful movement, subtle contrast, and thoughtful handmade craftsmanship.
The faceted black crystal creates a sophisticated shimmer that catches the light without overwhelming the design. Above the crystal, a handcrafted Argentium® silver ring and sterling silver bead accents create a distinctive floating focal point while adding depth and dimension to the overall composition.
The circular sterling silver ring that supports the design is individually welded by hand, creating a seamless finish and elevating the craftsmanship behind each pair. This small detail adds strength, refinement, and a more finished jewelry aesthetic compared to standard open jump rings.
These threader earrings are designed to adjust gently through the ear so you can create your preferred look. For the most balanced and secure fit, I recommend wearing them with approximately a 2" visible drop. While the chain can be worn longer, keeping the design centered helps maintain balance and comfortable wear.
Materials: 14k gold-filled chain ear thread earrings, faceted black crystals, handcrafted Argentium® silver rings, sterling silver beads, and hand-welded sterling silver circular rings.
Size: Approximately 2" visible drop when worn in the recommended centered position. The threader design allows for slight adjustment based on personal preference.
Each pair arrives gift-ready in a fancy gold-trim box and white gift box.
Artist's Note: I designed these earrings for collectors who appreciate clean lines, mixed metals, and thoughtful handmade details. The contrast between the black crystal, bright silver accents, and warm gold-filled chain creates a versatile design that feels modern, elegant, and easy to wear.
Each pair is handcrafted by Artist Lisa Ramos in her California studio. Every component is thoughtfully assembled and finished by hand, including the welded sterling silver ring and handcrafted Argentium® silver details that make this design uniquely MONOLISA.

Why Handmade Jewelry Is Better
Handmade jewelry offers something mass-produced pieces cannot—individual craftsmanship, sculptural detail, and the kind of quality that comes from being made by hand in small batches.
What Is Gold Filled Jewelry?
Gold filled jewelry is created by bonding a thick layer of real gold to a base metal, typically brass, using heat and pressure. This process permanently fuses the metals together, resulting in a durable material that looks and wears like high-karat gold.
By law, gold filled jewelry must contain at least 5% gold by weight (1/20th gold), which is significantly more than gold plated jewelry that only has a thin surface layer.
The result is a beautiful, long-lasting material designed to be worn and enjoyed for many years.
About 14 Karat Gold
14 karat gold is valued for its balance of beauty, durability, and everyday wearability. The solid 14k gold used in MONOLISA designs is sourced from refiners on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) list—certified refiners that are independently audited, traceable, and conflict free.
