Art Deco Aquamarine and Zircon Statement Earrings

$425.00

These one-of-a-kind Art Deco Aquamarine and Zircon Statement Earrings are handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio. Sterling silver geometric details are softened by shimmering gemstones of zircon, aquamarine rondelles, and tiny Keshi pearls that finely edge the teardrop that encases a large moss aquamarine briolette. Topped by a striking blue faceted oval aquamarine and a high luster pearl to give extra drama. Sterling silver throughout and ear wires. Total earring length 3½″.

The art deco frame is the architecture and the stones are the argument. The geometric sterling silver shapes hold the teardrop form, but it is the layering inside it that makes this piece: a moss aquamarine briolette at the center, ringed by aquamarine rondelles, edged in tiny Keshi pearls, and capped above by a faceted oval aquamarine and one more pearl for drama. The whole earring reads cold and watery and precise all at once. From the Glacier Collection: built once, never replicated, never manufactured.

The moss aquamarine briolette at the heart of each earring is cold-connected, assembled with wire and never with heat. Briolettes are drilled through their narrowest point, which is exactly where the stone is most brittle, so that is the point heat can never reach. Every stone in this piece, including the Keshi pearls, is set by hand. Keshi pearls have no nucleus, which gives them an irregular shape and a deeper, more intense luster than a standard cultured pearl, and they do best kept away from water and perfume.

One of a kind. When they sell, they’re gone. Explore more in the Glacier Collection.

What is this made of?
Sterling silver geometric details are softened by shimmering gemstones of zircon, aquamarine rondelles, and tiny Keshi pearls that finely edge the teardrop that encases a large moss aquamarine briolette. Topped by a striking blue faceted oval aquamarine and a high luster pearl to give extra drama. Sterling silver throughout and ear wires.
What is a moss aquamarine?
Moss aquamarine is aquamarine with natural mineral inclusions that create a mossy, garden-like interior. Rather than the clear blue-green of standard aquamarine, it has depth and pattern trapped inside the stone. At the center of these earrings it sits as a briolette, a teardrop-cut form drilled at its tip and cold-connected by hand.
How do I care for Keshi pearls?
Keshi pearls have no nucleus, which gives them an irregular shape and a deeper, more intense luster than a standard cultured pearl. Put them on last, after perfume and hairspray have dried, and take them off first. Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store them away from other jewelry so nothing scratches the nacre.
Are these one of a kind?
Yes. These earrings are from the Glacier Collection, built once and never replicated or manufactured. When they sell, they are gone. If this pair is no longer available, visit the Glacier Collection to see what is currently in the studio.
