An Anchor Topped with a Yellow Stone
These anchor stud earrings reduce the object to its essential silhouette: the straight shank, the two arms curving upward, and an oval citrine zircon set at the top in place of the anchor ring. The nautical motif is handled without nostalgia or frills. Find this product in our Viking earrings collection.
The same anchor comes in a large dangle version: our runic anchor dangles, engraved with Norse knotwork.
What Sets This Pair Apart
A miniature anchor has to keep its proportions, or it turns into a cross.
- Sharply curved arms: the gap between the shank and the flukes is pronounced, which rules out any confusion with another motif.
- Stone at the ring: the zircon takes the place of the mooring ring and becomes the visual anchor point.
- Push-back clasp: a single post centered under the stone keeps the stud perfectly upright.
- Stainless steel: the most fitting material for a nautical motif, and one that fears neither water nor salt.
For the same stone color without a figurative motif, see our square citrine studs.

Did You Know?
We know what a Viking anchor looked like because one survives complete. The Ladby ship, buried around 925 on the island of Funen in Denmark, yielded its iron anchor along with its chain — the only intact example known from a Viking Age boat. It is a little over a meter long, weighs around thirty kilos, and its ten-meter chain was complemented by a rope that has since disappeared. The ship itself no longer exists: the wood rotted away completely, leaving in the soil only its imprint, the iron rivets in their proper places, and this anchor. Archaeologists excavated a ghost ship whose heaviest object was the best preserved.

Did the Vikings use anchors?
Yes, and one complete example survives: the anchor of the Ladby ship in Denmark, buried around 925 with its iron chain. It is the only known intact example for a Viking Age ship.
How tall is the design?
A little over one centimeter, stone included. It is a size that is easy to make out without being imposing, and it fits entirely on the earlobe.
Can I wear them at the beach?
Yes, without hesitation. Stainless steel can handle salt water, and the synthetic stone does not deteriorate. Rinse them in fresh water at the end of the day to keep salt from building up in the setting.
Is this model unisex?
Absolutely. The anchor is one of the few motifs that anyone can wear, and the yellow stone remains understated enough not to make the piece lean one way or the other.
