The Gold Deco Amazonite Drop Huggies draw their design language from the bold geometric patterns of the 1920s Art Deco movement. Each earring features a 10mm gold huggie hoop that sits close to the earlobe, from which a faceted amazonite stone drops elegantly — creating movement and catching light with every turn of the head.
Amazonite is a powerful semi-precious stone, historically valued for bringing calm, clarity and self-compassion to its wearers. The stones in these earrings display a beautiful blue-green hue characteristic of high-quality amazonite, cut in the classic Art Deco style with clean, geometric faceting that maximises the stone's natural luminosity.
The huggie mechanism provides a secure, comfortable fit that hugs the earlobe without the need for butterfly backs. Four created sapphires are set along the claw that holds the amazonite drop, adding a touch of additional luxury. Crafted from 18ct gold-plated recycled sterling silver, these earrings balance precious material quality with conscious production practices.
Amazonite is a green-to-blue variety of microcline feldspar, named after the Amazon River. It is prized for its soothing blue-green colour, which ranges from pale mint to deep teal. The stone has been used in jewellery for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Egyptian civilisations.
The amazonite drops in these huggies are precision-cut in an Art Deco-style faceting pattern that enhances the stone's natural colour depth. Each stone displays a consistent blue-green hue with the subtle opacity that characterises gem-quality amazonite. They are claw-set with four created white sapphires on each earring.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, amazonite is associated with courage, truth and harmony. It is believed to soothe emotional trauma and alleviate worry. As a wearable stone, it has excellent durability at 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it well-suited to everyday earring wear with reasonable care.

The sophisticated Art Deco design and understated colour palette make these huggies perfectly suited to professional settings. The close-fitting huggie style avoids the movement and noise of longer earrings, whilst the amazonite drop adds just enough colour interest to elevate business attire.
The interplay of gold, amazonite and sapphire accents creates a piece that transitions effortlessly into evening wear. The drop catches candlelight beautifully, and the geometric design holds its own alongside more formal jewellery. Pair with a simple chain for a cohesive Art Deco look.
The comfort of the huggie design makes these earrings ideal for all-day weekend wear. The natural amazonite adds a pop of colour to casual outfits, whilst the quality of the gold plating ensures they always look polished. Light enough to forget you are wearing them.

The amazonite colour is absolutely gorgeous — a beautiful deep teal that catches the light wonderfully. The Art Deco design feels special without being over the top. I wear these to work almost every day and always get compliments.

The huggie mechanism is brilliant — so easy to put on and they stay secure all day. The drop has a lovely movement to it without being distracting. The gold plating has held up beautifully after months of regular wear.

Bought these as a birthday gift for my sister and she was over the moon. The quality is evident the moment you open the box. The geometric design gives them a unique look that stands out from typical drop earrings.

I love how versatile these are. They work with everything from jeans and a white shirt to a cocktail dress. The amazonite stones have a lovely depth of colour and the small sapphire accents add a subtle sparkle that elevates the whole piece.

These are my favourite earrings in my collection. The weight is perfect — substantial enough to feel luxurious but light enough for all-day comfort. The Art Deco styling feels both vintage and modern at the same time. Exceptional quality.
