925 Sterling Silver Marquise CZ Huggie Hoop Earrings
The marquise cut — named for the Marquise de Pompadour, the most influential woman at the court of Louis XV of France, whose smile was said to be so perfect that the king commissioned a diamond cut to replicate its shape. The marquise is the most elongated of all the classic diamond cuts — two pointed ends, a broad center, the silhouette that makes every finger it touches appear longer and more slender, every earlobe it adorns appear more refined and more elegant. This 925 sterling silver huggie hoop earring sets a white zircon CZ in the marquise shape — the horse eye silhouette that has been the choice of royalty and fine jewelry connoisseurs for three centuries — in the inlay technique on a close-fitting huggie hoop, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at just 1.16g. The earring that makes the earlobe look like it belongs to someone who knows exactly what they are doing with jewelry.
Why You'll Love It
-
Marquise CZ — The Elongating Cut — The marquise cut — two pointed ends, a broad center, the silhouette that is simultaneously the most dramatic and the most elegant of all the classic diamond cuts. The shape that makes the CZ stone appear larger than its actual size, that creates the visual impression of length and refinement, that has been the choice of fine jewelry connoisseurs for three centuries because no other cut does what the marquise does to the light and to the eye.
-
White CZ Inlay — White zircon CZ set in the inlay technique in the marquise shape — the diamond-look brilliance of high-quality CZ in the cut that makes CZ appear most like a marquise diamond, because the marquise shape maximizes the surface area of the stone and therefore maximizes the light return and the visual impact.
-
Huggie Hoop Form — The close-fitting huggie hoop that keeps the marquise CZ close to the ear, where its elongated silhouette can be seen clearly and appreciated fully — the earring form that frames the marquise shape perfectly by providing the clean, circular structure that makes the pointed ends of the marquise appear most dramatic by contrast.
-
Featherlight at 1.16g — At just 1.16g per pair, these marquise CZ huggie earrings are among the lightest in the collection — so light that they are genuinely imperceptible on the ear, the fine jewelry earring that stays on all day without ever feeling heavy or intrusive.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the marquise CZ its most traditional and most luxurious expression — the yellow gold marquise that echoes the great diamond jewelry of the 18th and 19th centuries. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the marquise CZ its most contemporary and most refined expression.
