Answer: earring ( 이 珥)
When 玉 (옥) is used as part of other characters, as is the case with 珥 (이), it is usually written as 王 (왕), which is also the character for king. In other words, when 王 (왕) is used by itself, it means king, but when it is used as part of other characters, it is a variant of 玉 (옥), which means gem or jade.
