Gold Plated Pearl CZ Geometric Stud Earrings
The pearl and the geometric form are the two oldest languages of fine jewelry. The pearl — the organic gem, the only precious stone that is made by a living creature, the sphere of nacre that a mollusc builds around an irritant grain of sand over years of patient secretion — has been the most prized gem in the world for most of human history. Before diamonds were cut and polished into the brilliant forms we know today, before rubies and sapphires were mined from the mountains of Burma and Kashmir, the pearl was the most valuable gem in the world — the gem that Cleopatra dissolved in vinegar to win a bet with Mark Antony about who could host the most expensive dinner, the gem that the Roman general Vitellius financed an entire military campaign by selling one of his mother's pearl earrings. The geometric form — the precise, angular arrangement of surfaces that catches the light from multiple angles simultaneously — is the language of modern fine jewelry, the design vocabulary that is most at home in the contemporary world. The pearl CZ geometric stud takes the most ancient gem and sets it in the most contemporary form: the organic and the geometric, the ancient and the modern, the soft glow of the pearl and the precise sparkle of the white zircon CZ, in the stud earring that is most wearable and most versatile. This gold plated stud earring sets imitation pearl and white zircon CZ in the geometric design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 3.5g. The earring where the ancient meets the modern.
Why You'll Love It
-
Imitation Pearl — The Ancient Gem in Modern Form — Imitation pearl — the warm, luminous sphere that captures the glow of nacre, the organic gem that has been the most prized stone in the world for most of human history. The pearl that Cleopatra dissolved in vinegar, that Roman generals sold to finance military campaigns, that queens and empresses have worn as the ultimate symbol of wealth and refinement. The imitation pearl that delivers the beauty and the meaning of the world's most ancient gem in the most accessible and most wearable form.
-
Geometric Design — The Modern Setting — The geometric form — the precise, angular arrangement of surfaces that catches the light from multiple angles simultaneously, the design vocabulary that is most at home in the contemporary world. The geometric stud that sets the ancient pearl in the most modern and most architectural form — the fine jewelry piece that is simultaneously the most traditional (the pearl) and the most contemporary (the geometry).
-
Pearl + CZ — Soft Glow and Precise Sparkle — Imitation pearl and white zircon CZ stones set in the inlay technique — the soft, diffused glow of the pearl and the concentrated, precise sparkle of the diamond-look CZ, two completely different light effects in the same earring. The pearl that glows and the CZ that sparkles, the organic and the crystalline, the ancient and the modern in the same geometric stud.
-
The Substantial Stud — 3.5g — At 3.5g per pair, the pearl CZ geometric stud has a satisfying presence on the earlobe — the fine jewelry piece that is felt as well as seen, the stud that reminds the wearer of its presence throughout the day with the comfortable weight of something genuinely substantial. The pearl stud for the person who wants their earrings to be noticed.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the pearl CZ geometric stud its most luminous and most traditional expression — the gold setting that makes the pearl appear most warm and most radiant within the geometric frame. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the geometric stud its most contemporary expression — the silver setting that makes the pearl appear most pure and most luminous by contrast.
