925 Sterling Silver Blue Spinel Starfish CZ Stud Earrings
The starfish does not have a brain. It does not have blood. It does not have a heart. What it has is five arms, each one capable of independent movement, each one containing a portion of the starfish's digestive system, each one ending in hundreds of tiny tube feet that allow the starfish to walk across the ocean floor, to pry open the shells of clams and mussels, to right itself when it is turned upside down. The starfish is the creature that achieves the most complex behaviors — hunting, navigating, reproducing — without any of the organs that other animals consider essential. The starfish is the creature that proves that there is more than one way to be alive. The blue spinel — the gemstone that has been mistaken for sapphire by kings and jewelers for centuries, the blue stone that is rarer than sapphire in its finest quality, the color of the deep ocean where the starfish lives — fills the five arms of the starfish with the blue of the sea. The white zircon CZ accent stones add the sparkle of sunlight on the ocean surface. This 925 sterling silver stud earring sets blue spinel and white zircon CZ in the starfish design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1g. The earring that wears the ocean's most extraordinary creature in the ocean's most extraordinary blue.
Why You'll Love It
-
Starfish Design — The Creature Without a Brain — The ⭐ starfish — the five-armed echinoderm that achieves hunting, navigation, and reproduction without a brain, without blood, without a heart. The creature that proves there is more than one way to be alive, the marine animal with the most extraordinary biology in the ocean. The starfish earring that carries the meaning of the most resilient and most extraordinary creature in the sea — the fine jewelry piece for the person who finds beauty in the unexpected.
-
Blue Spinel — The Ocean's Rarest Blue — Blue spinel — the gemstone that has been mistaken for sapphire by kings and jewelers for centuries, the blue stone that is rarer than sapphire in its finest quality. The blue that is the color of the deep ocean where the starfish lives, the gemstone that carries the color of the sea in the most concentrated and most luminous form. The blue spinel starfish that is simultaneously the most marine and the most gemologically distinguished earring in the ocean collection.
-
Five-Fold Symmetry — Nature's Rarest Geometry — The starfish achieves five-fold radial symmetry — the five arms that extend outward from the central disc at equal angles, the geometry that is extremely rare in the natural world (most organisms are bilaterally symmetric, like humans). The starfish earring that wears the rarest geometric symmetry in nature, the five-armed form that is most immediately recognizable and most immediately distinctive.
-
Blue + White — The Ocean's Two Colors — Blue spinel in the starfish body and white zircon CZ in the accent stones — the deep blue of the ocean and the sparkling white of sunlight on the ocean surface. The two colors of the sea in the one earring that is most completely marine, the color combination that is most immediately evocative of the ocean in all its depth and all its light.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the blue spinel starfish its most luminous and most traditional expression — the gold starfish that echoes the warm color of the sand and the golden light of the afternoon sun on the ocean. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the starfish its most contemporary expression — the silver starfish that makes the blue spinel appear most saturated and most vivid by contrast.
