925 Sterling Silver CZ Pineapple Dangle Huggie Earrings
The pineapple has been the symbol of hospitality for three centuries. In the 1600s and 1700s, when European explorers first brought pineapples back from the Caribbean and South America, the fruit was so rare and so expensive that a single pineapple could cost the equivalent of thousands of dollars. European aristocrats would rent pineapples by the day to display at their dinner parties as a symbol of wealth and generosity — the pineapple that said to every guest: you are welcome here, and I have spared no expense to show it. The pineapple became the universal symbol of hospitality, appearing above the doors of inns and taverns, carved into the gateposts of grand houses, woven into the textiles of the most elegant homes. In fine jewelry, the pineapple carries all of this — the tropical warmth, the generous welcome, the joyful abundance of the fruit that was once the most prized thing on any table. This 925 sterling silver huggie earring sets zircon CZ stones in the pineapple design with pear cut CZ accents using the inlay technique, in 14K gold plating, at 1.92g. The earring that wears the symbol of welcome on the earlobe.

The pineapple earring that carries the meaning of the most generous and most welcoming symbol in the history of fine jewelry — the fruit that says "you are welcome here" in every language and every culture that has ever known the pineapple.
-
Pear Cut CZ — The Tropical Drop — Pear cut CZ stones — the teardrop shape that tapers to a point at one end and rounds at the other, the cut that creates the most graceful and most elongating drop in fine jewelry. The pear cut CZ that echoes the shape of the pineapple itself — the fruit that is broad at the top and tapers toward the bottom — creating the double fruit reference that makes this earring the most playfully self-referential piece in the collection.
-
Dangle Huggie — The Tropical Movement — The pineapple design dangles from the close-fitting huggie hoop — the earring form that keeps the pineapple at the perfect distance from the ear while allowing it to move with every movement of the head. The dangle that creates the tropical movement of the pineapple, the gentle swing that makes the earring appear most alive and most joyful.

The earring that reveals the personality of the person wearing it: warm, welcoming, joyful, and not afraid to wear a pineapple on their earlobe.

14K Gold Plating — The Tropical Gold — 14K gold plating — the warm, classic finish that gives the CZ pineapple its most tropical and most luminous expression. The gold that echoes the warm yellow of the ripe pineapple, the metal that makes the pineapple design appear most vivid and most joyful.
