925 Sterling Silver Emerald Cut CZ Rectangle Huggie Earrings
The emerald cut is the cut that reveals the stone rather than concealing it. The round brilliant cut — with its 57 or 58 facets arranged to maximize the reflection and refraction of light — creates a stone that appears to be on fire, the light bouncing between facets so rapidly that the individual facets are invisible and only the brilliance remains. The emerald cut does the opposite. Its large, flat table facet and step-cut sides — the parallel rows of rectangular facets that descend like the steps of a staircase from the table to the girdle — create a stone that is transparent rather than brilliant, that allows the eye to look into the stone rather than at its surface, that reveals the clarity and the depth of the crystal rather than hiding it behind a wall of reflected light. The emerald cut is the cut of the connoisseur — the person who prefers the quiet confidence of a stone that does not need to shout to be noticed. This 925 sterling silver huggie earring sets white zircon CZ in the emerald cut rectangle design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1.77g. The earring for the person who knows the difference.
Why You'll Love It
-
Emerald Cut — The Connoisseur's Choice — The emerald cut — the rectangular step-cut that reveals the stone's depth and clarity rather than maximizing its brilliance. The cut that has been the choice of the most discerning fine jewelry collectors for over a century, the cut that Grace Kelly wore in her engagement ring, that Angelina Jolie chose for her ring, that appears on the most celebrated diamonds in history. The emerald cut CZ that delivers the quiet, sophisticated sparkle of the step-cut in 925 sterling silver fine jewelry.
-
Step-Cut Sparkle — The Hall of Mirrors — The emerald cut's step-cut facets create what gemologists call the "hall of mirrors" effect — the parallel rows of rectangular facets that reflect each other in long, linear flashes of light rather than the rapid, multi-directional sparkle of the brilliant cut. The sparkle that is slower, more deliberate, and more architectural than any other cut — the light that moves across the stone in long, graceful sweeps rather than rapid, scattered flashes.
-
Rectangle Design — The Architectural Frame — The rectangular frame of the huggie — the clean, architectural shape that gives the emerald cut CZ its most natural and most complementary setting. The rectangle that echoes the rectangular shape of the emerald cut itself, the geometric precision that makes the step-cut sparkle appear most intentional and most refined.
-
Huggie Hoop Form — The Wearable Classic — The close-fitting huggie hoop carries the emerald cut rectangle close to the ear — the earring form that keeps the step-cut CZ at the perfect distance for its distinctive sparkle to be seen clearly and appreciated fully. The huggie that is minimal enough for the office and present enough for the evening.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the emerald cut CZ its most traditional and most luminous expression — the gold frame that has always been the standard setting for the emerald cut. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the emerald cut its most contemporary and most refined expression — the silver frame that makes the step-cut sparkle appear most crisp and most architectural.
