Diamond Cross Earrings Dangle Mens – Varro
$29.95
Pair of hinged huggie hoops in 14k gold-plated copper alloy, prong set with clear cubic zirconia across the front, each with a small pavé cross drop for daily or evening wear.
More designs:
- Wear just one, as on the model, and the second earring becomes a spare for the day one goes missing.
- Open the hoop at its hinge and press it shut until it clicks, with no earring back to lose.
- Expect the plating to wear first on the inside of the hoop, where it rubs the piercing.
- Pair them with a plain gold chain or a yellow-gold watch, since the hoops carry no silver detail to match.
- Skip them if your ears react to costume jewelry, as the base metal is copper alloy under the plating.
Our Take
The base under the 14k gold plating is a copper alloy, so these will not outlast sterling and are a risk for ears that react to base metals. On a man’s lobe the pavé hoop reads as a thin bright line of light, with the 0.35 in (9 mm) cross as a small point below it. By evening the click hinge had stayed shut, and the cross still swung freely below the lobe.

Description
How a Small Cross Hoop Sits on a Man’s Ear
Searches for diamond cross earrings dangle mens usually mean this exact shape: a small huggie hoop with a cross hanging below it. Here the stones are cubic zirconia, not diamond, and the metal is 14k gold-plated copper alloy. Each earring measures 0.98 in (25 mm) from the top of the hoop to the foot of the cross.
A row of stones in front, plain metal behind
The hoop is 0.63 in (16 mm) tall, small enough to sit close to the lobe rather than swing. Its front half carries a single row of round clear stones, each held by tiny prongs along both edges, while the back half that sits behind the lobe is left plain and polished. A hinge lets the hoop swing open; press it closed and it locks with a click. From its base hangs a short jump ring and the cross, 0.35 in (9 mm) tall and 0.24 in (6 mm) wide, with one row of stones down the upright and across the arms. Because the drop moves on its ring, it catches light when you turn your head. At this size the stones blur into texture from more than a step away.
Under the gold is a copper alloy, and that shapes how long this pair will look new. Plating on an earring wears fastest where it rubs: the inner curve of the hoop and the hinged pin that passes through the piercing. Once it thins there, the copper beneath can darken and, on some skin, leave a faint green mark on the lobe. That mark is harmless but annoying. Taking them out to sleep and shower slows the wear down. This pair carries no nickel-free or hypoallergenic claim, so anyone who reacts to costume jewelry should choose sterling silver or titanium instead. In return, the price stays low, and the look will need replacing sooner than a pair in sterling or gold would.
One ear, both ears, or a stack
- Worn in one ear, the cross reads as a personal detail rather than a matched accessory.
- Worn in both, the pair looks more deliberate and sits best with a collared shirt or an open jacket.
- Paired with a plain stud in a second piercing, the small hoop leaves enough room that the ear does not look crowded.
- Against black clothing, as in the photo, the gold reads clearly even at this small size.
FAQ
Are the stones real diamonds
No. Every stone is cubic zirconia, a lab-made stone cut to imitate diamond, and the gold is plating over copper alloy rather than solid metal. Expect diamond-like sparkle at a costume jewelry price, with the durability that goes with it.
Can I buy just one earring
No, they come as a pair. If you only wear one, store the other in its own pouch so the plating and stones do not scuff against other jewelry.
Will they work in a second lobe piercing
It depends on where it sits. At 0.63 in (16 mm) tall, the hoop is sized for the lobe, so a second lobe hole usually works. Upper-ear and cartilage piercings generally need a smaller, thinner hoop than this one.
The cross looks like it could come off the hoop
It is held by a small jump ring and is not designed to detach. A jeweler can open that ring if you want to swap the drop, though the hoop would then show a bare loop at its base.
