925 Sterling Silver Marquise CZ Eye Huggie Earrings
The marquise shape has two names. Jewelers call it the marquise — after the Marquise de Pompadour, the favorite of Louis XV of France, whose smile the shape was designed to capture. But they also call it the navette (little boat) and the horse's eye — because the elongated oval that tapers to a point at each end looks exactly like an eye: the broad center that is the iris, the two pointed ends that are the corners of the eye, the shape that appears to be looking at you even when it is perfectly still. The eye shape in fine jewelry carries its own meaning — the evil eye talisman that has been worn as protection against misfortune in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cultures for thousands of years is the eye shape, the gaze that deflects the gaze of envy. This 925 sterling silver huggie earring sets white zircon CZ stones in the marquise eye shape using the inlay technique on the huggie hoop, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1.62g. The earring that watches over the wearer.
Why You'll Love It
-
Marquise Eye Shape — The Gaze in Fine Jewelry — The marquise — also called the horse's eye, the navette, the eye shape — is the cut that looks like an eye: the broad center that is the iris, the two pointed ends that are the corners of the eye, the shape that appears to be looking at you even when it is perfectly still. The marquise CZ huggie that wears the eye shape on the earlobe, the fine jewelry piece that carries the meaning of the gaze — watchful, protective, aware.
-
The Evil Eye Connection — The eye shape in fine jewelry has been worn as a talisman of protection for thousands of years — the evil eye amulet that deflects the gaze of envy, that protects the wearer from misfortune, that has appeared in the jewelry of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, the Ottoman Empire, and every Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culture that has ever made jewelry. The marquise CZ huggie that carries this protective meaning in the most elegant and most wearable form possible.
-
Marquise on Huggie — The Elevated Form — The marquise eye shape set on the huggie hoop — the elongating cut that makes the earlobe appear most slender and most refined, carried on the close-fitting huggie that keeps the eye shape at the perfect distance from the ear. The huggie form that gives the marquise more presence and more visual weight than a stud, the earring that is more substantial than a stud and more wearable than a full hoop.
-
White CZ — The Sparkling Eye — White zircon CZ stones set in the inlay technique across the marquise eye shape — the diamond-look brilliance of high-quality CZ filling the elongated oval, creating the earring that appears to be a marquise diamond set in the huggie. The CZ that catches the light from the pointed tips and releases it across the broad center, creating the distinctive sparkle pattern of the marquise cut.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the marquise CZ eye its most traditional and most luminous expression — the gold eye that catches the light with the warmth of fine jewelry. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the marquise eye its most contemporary and most refined expression — the silver eye for the person who prefers their protection cool and precise.
