Nerano Marquise Studs — Bezel-Set Crystal Stud Earrings

Small enough for every day. Shaped like nothing else in the drawer.

Most studs are round. These are marquise: the long pointed oval that sits at an angle on the lobe and follows the line of the ear instead of interrupting it. The bezel around each stone is hammered rather than smooth, so the metal catches light in facets of its own and the whole thing reads as made rather than manufactured. These are made by Ettika, the Los Angeles jewelry label. We chose them for this collection rather than designing them.

• Marquise-cut cubic zirconia in a hammered bezel
• 18k gold plating over brass
• Three finishes: clear on gold, clear on silver, green on gold
• 0.56 in long, small enough to stack
• Post backs

Waterproof, so showers and workouts are fine. Wipe after wear and store them in the pouch; the plating stays bright far longer that way.
