Care & Disclaimer:
Due to the nature of glass and synthetic stone, slight variations in veining, opacity, or tone may occur and are considered part of each piece's character. Avoid moisture, perfume, and abrasive handling. Store separately to maintain finish and integrity.

The Story
This design doesn't draw on a specific regional heritage — it's built in New Jersey from a straightforward geometric vocabulary: cylinder, cube, and disc, stacked in a single line. That kind of shape-on-shape construction has deep roots in modern studio jewelry, where designers build a piece the way an architect blocks a facade, letting the silhouette do the work instead of ornament.
What carries the piece is contrast: a matte, marbled black column against a brushed brass cube against a soft, frosted green disc. Pairing rough-textured stone-look material with a polished metal accent and translucent glass is a common move in this kind of geometric jewelry design, used to keep a graphic shape from feeling flat or heavy.
Because the materials here are synthetic stone and glass rather than mined gemstone, the piece is best understood as a design object first — a study in stacked form and finish — rather than a piece tied to a single cultural motif.
Each earring is built by hand, bead by bead: the cylinder, cube, and disc are strung in sequence onto a headpin or wire, the loops are formed and closed by hand, and the finished stack is attached to a curved ear hook — all assembled by skilled workers at a small production studio in New Jersey rather than mass-machined.

Questions & Answers
What is "black emperor stone"?
It's a synthetic stone made to resemble the marbled, veined look of natural dark stone, giving the cylinder its deep black-and-white texture.
Is the green disc real olivine?
No — it's olivine-green glass, cut and finished to a soft, frosted translucence rather than genuine olivine gemstone.
Will the gold plating hold up over time?
With normal care — keeping the earrings away from moisture and perfume and storing them separately — the 18k gold plating over brass should wear well.
How long do the earrings hang?
About 1.375 inches from where the stack meets the ear hook, plus the length of the hook itself.
Where are these earrings made?
They're hand-assembled in New Jersey, USA.
