Art Deco Marquise Jade Stud Earrings
Marquise Jade Stud Earrings
Fine jade earrings set with jadeite and diamonds in platinum.
The jade is mottled and shows off the painterly striations of a two tone green.
This pattern is not lost, even in its dainty size.
On close-up the jadeite surface is mirror-like, though its asymmetry is delicate and organic.
In photos these studs may appear bigger-than-life, but the marquise ‘melon’ earrings are only 2cm tall.
Smaller jade studs like this are not often deliberately designed, this dainty pair is a miniature exercise in Art Deco’s enduring appeal.
The earrings hover jade’s lovely ‘soft’ presence, nowhere a hard spot of green on the ears.
The marquise form is sophisticated on the ears, in jade there is more.
