1950’s Aurora Borealis Marquise and Chaton Crystal Floral Shield Clip-on Earrings
Materials and Features:
Vitreous Aurora Borealis Crystals: High-refractive index glass stones featuring the original 1950's vacuum-deposited coating for a spectrum of violet, gold, and azure fire.
Mixed-Cut Architectural Design: A sophisticated combination of a large focal marquise-cut stone anchored by a radiant cluster of round chaton "petals."
Architectural Puddle-Cast Construction: A solid, heavy-gauge gold-tone base (8g) engineered for structural integrity. The puddle-cast reverse creates a seamless, integrated vault that protects internal stone reflectivity.
Precision Multi-Prong Setting: Every stone is individually secured with hand-crimped gold-tone prongs, ensuring long-term structural integrity compared to glued alternatives.
Floral Shield Silhouette: An elegant, asymmetrical botanical design that provides a bold, light-catching profile on the ear.
Survivor Mechanical Integrity: Reliable high-tension clip-on backs featuring dual-channel structural ribbing and a solid-rivet hinge pin.
