925 Emerald Cut Earrings 2.8 Ct

At 2.8 carats between the pair, these rhodium- or gold-plated emerald-cut stud earrings are the statement version of a quiet idea: one rectangular cubic zirconia per ear, stepped facets flashing rather than twinkling. Lauren G Adams scales the cut up without changing its calm.

The stones are set on a .925 silver base under plating, with sturdy push-back closures. Reserve them for evenings, or don't — an emerald cut at breakfast is its own kind of confidence. Nickel- and lead-free.
