1.28 Ct.Tw. Emerald Emerald Studs Earrings, 14K Yellow Gold

These earrings are executed entirely in 14K yellow gold, with a technical approach to proportion and light management that reads as both refined and assertive. Each earring features a faceted round top linked to a faceted pear drop, the round executed with parallel crown facets to optimize scintillation, the pear cut shaped with carefully graded pavilion facets to promote broad flash across the lower surface. The green gemstones exhibit a medium dark tone with strong, even saturation and minimal color zoning, characteristics that yield a vivid, saturated hue under both natural and artificial light. The stones are held in low profile prong baskets, the round stones secured by four symmetrically placed prongs, the pear drops retained by precision set prongs at the shoulders and at the tip, the open basket architecture allowing light to pass through the pavilion and enhance internal reflection. Posts are straight and calibrated for balanced hang, with friction butterfly backs for secure daily wear. The 14K yellow gold is hand polished to a warm, mirror finish, the prong heads neatly burnished to reduce visual metal weight and emphasize the color plane of the stones.

From a craftsmanship standpoint the design resolves two often competing objectives, understated workmanship and confident visual impact. The proportions are restrained, the drop length calibrated to sit close to the lobe for controlled movement, this minimizes swing while permitting the pear facets to catch light with each motion. The use of warm yellow gold as the metal field increases perceived saturation of the green stones, creating a bold color contrast without excessive scale. Finishing details include crisp solder joints within the basket understructure, consistent prong geometry for symmetric light leakage, and tight post to back tolerances to prevent tilt. The overall effect is a balance of sophistication and boldness, the precision faceting and secure setting delivering technical refinement, the saturated green and drop silhouette providing immediate, confident presence. These earrings translate specialist gem handling into a wearable statement, suitable for contexts that require subtle luxury and moments that demand unmistakable color and form.
