925 Sterling Silver CZ Trapezoid Huggie Earrings — Art Deco
The trapezoid is the shape of Art Deco. In the 1920s and 1930s, when the Art Deco movement transformed architecture, design, and jewelry with its celebration of geometric precision and machine-age modernity, the trapezoid appeared everywhere — in the stepped facades of the Chrysler Building, in the geometric panels of the Rockefeller Center, in the jewelry of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels that defined the era. The trapezoid — the four-sided figure with one pair of parallel sides and one pair of non-parallel sides — creates a visual perspective that no other quadrilateral can achieve: the wider top and narrower bottom (or wider bottom and narrower top) that makes the shape appear to recede into the distance, the geometric illusion of depth that makes the trapezoid the most architecturally interesting of all the four-sided shapes. This 925 sterling silver huggie earring sets white zircon CZ stones in the trapezoid design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1.54g. The earring that wears the geometry of the great buildings on the earlobe.

Trapezoid — The Art Deco Shape — The trapezoid — the four-sided figure with one pair of parallel sides that creates the visual perspective of depth and recession — is the defining shape of the Art Deco era. The shape that appeared in the stepped facades of the Chrysler Building, in the geometric panels of Rockefeller Center, in the jewelry of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels that defined the 1920s and 1930s. The trapezoid huggie that wears the geometry of the great Art Deco buildings on the earlobe.
-
Architectural Precision — The trapezoid creates a visual perspective that no other quadrilateral can achieve — the wider top and narrower bottom that makes the shape appear to recede into the distance, the geometric illusion of depth that makes the trapezoid the most architecturally interesting of all the four-sided shapes. The earring that appears to have been designed by an architect rather than a jeweler, the fine jewelry piece that carries the precision of the built world on the earlobe.
-
White CZ — The Sparkling Trapezoid — White zircon CZ stones set in the inlay technique across the trapezoid shape — the diamond-look brilliance of high-quality CZ filling the architectural form, creating the earring that appears to be a trapezoid set with diamonds. The CZ that catches the light across the full surface of the trapezoid, creating the even, architectural sparkle that makes the geometric form appear most precise and most intentional.
-
Huggie Hoop Form — The Modern Carrier — The close-fitting huggie hoop carries the trapezoid design close to the ear — the earring form that keeps the architectural shape at the perfect distance for its geometry to be seen clearly and appreciated fully. The huggie that gives the trapezoid more presence and more visual weight than a stud, the earring that is more substantial than a stud and more wearable than a full hoop.
-
Two Plating Options — Choose 14K gold plating for the warm, classic finish that gives the CZ trapezoid its most Art Deco and most luminous expression — the gold trapezoid that echoes the gilded geometry of the great Art Deco interiors. Or choose platinum plating for the cool, modern white metal look that gives the trapezoid its most contemporary and most architectural expression — the silver trapezoid for the person whose aesthetic is defined by clean lines and geometric precision.
