The swan shape does double duty here too. The curved neck forms the earring's hinge and the body sweeps around to close the hoop, so there's no separate finding tacked onto a generic hoop shape. This version adds a detail the plainer ones skip: the body is cut with fine diamond faceting that catches light the way real feathers would, giving the wing area genuine shine rather than a flat polished surface.
Solid 14K yellow gold at 2.5 grams total, stamped 14K JCM on the post. The neck and head stay high polish while the diamond cut texture is reserved for the body, so the swan reads as sculpted rather than engraved. Each hoop measures about an inch across.
Along the tail feathers there's a subtle variation in the surface, the kind of thing that could be original to the casting or could be decades of wear settling into the design. Either way it reads as part of the piece rather than something you'd notice from across the room.
