925 Sterling Silver Marquise Green CZ Long Drop Hoop Earrings
The marquise cut is the cut that was made for a smile. In 1745, King Louis XV of France commissioned his court jeweler to create a diamond cut that would capture the shape of the lips of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour — the most powerful woman in France, the woman who effectively ran the country's cultural and foreign policy for nearly two decades, the woman whose taste defined the Rococo style and whose influence shaped the art, architecture, and fashion of an entire era. The result was the marquise cut: the elongated oval with pointed ends, the shape that is simultaneously the most elegant and the most dramatic of all the diamond cuts, the form that makes the stone appear larger than its carat weight, that makes the finger appear longer and more slender, that catches the light from the pointed ends and concentrates it in the wide center in a way that no other cut can replicate. The marquise green CZ long drop hoop earring takes this most elegant and most historically significant of all the cuts and sets it in green — the vivid, saturated green of the finest green stones, the color that is simultaneously the most natural and the most luxurious. The marquise green CZ hangs from the hoop in the long drop form, the earring that moves with the wearer, that catches the light as it swings, that is most present and most dramatic when the wearer is in motion. White zircon CZ accent stones frame the marquise green center and add the diamond-look brilliance that makes the green appear most vivid. This 925 sterling silver drop hoop earring sets green CZ and white zircon CZ in the marquise geometric design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 2.18g. The earring that was made for a smile.
