Checkered Huggies

Topaz, Montana, emerald, or black: four moody shades give these crystal huggie earrings their checkered character, faceted stones set edge to edge around a compact hoop. Within the Lauren G Adams line, this is the pair that trades enamel work for pure sparkle.

Each hoop is hand-finished in brass and rhodium-plated, closing on a secure post. Nickel- and lead-free and light on the ear, they read as jewel-toned from across a room — pick a single shade, or collect two and alternate them through the week.
