Elegant Teardrop Jewelry
The lovely shape of the teardrop appeals to me because it can represent so many things, particularly in nature. My first thought is a raindrop, one of nature’s most essential sources of life. But teardrop shapes can also be found in leaves, flower petals, and droplets of dew.
Featured above is a teardrop pendant showcasing a lab-created alexandrite gemstone set in a silver bezel.

The teardrop shape can also represent femininity and grace. Its rounded curve and tapered point give it a flowing, elegant quality, beautifully expressed in these open sterling silver teardrop earrings accented with a small white freshwater pearl. |

Teardrops can also express emotion. We often think of tears of sorrow, but we also have tears of happiness and joy. And who hasn’t laughed ’til they cried? Tears can represent so much more than heartache. A wonderful reminder of this is the vibrant orange spessartite garnet pendant, suspended in a graceful teardrop shape. |
Movement is another thing I think of when I see this shape. What better way to illustrate this than with these two little teardrop earrings?
The pair on the left features a small, hammered sterling silver teardrop with a dangling freshwater pearl. The pair on the right combines reticulated silver over copper with a small dangling stick pearl.
Both pairs move beautifully when worn, showing off the versatility of the teardrop shape.
