Lea Stein Paris Attributed Cotton Candy Mint Laminated Rhodoid Tapered Teardrop Pierced Earrings
Materials and Features:
Artisan Angle-Cut Lamination: A sophisticated architectural design featuring deep, machine-polished bevels at the base of the drop. This specialized hardware technique "opens up" the internal Rhodoid construction, revealing a vibrant, mint-green striped spectrum against the pastel pink core.
4mm Block-Carved Architecture: Carved from a 4mm multi-layer Rhodoid block, allowing for the sculptural depth required to achieve the tapered, ergonomic teardrop profile.
Rhodoid "Sandwich" Construction: Crafted using the proprietary high-pressure lamination process from the Stein workshop. This method heat-fuses multiple wafers of high-quality cellulose acetate into a single, seamless block of color.
Modernist Tapered Silhouette: A sleek, minimalist teardrop design that captures the bold, experimental energy of the 1970s Parisian studio era.
Lightweight Studio Engineering: Boasting a calibrated 3.2g weight and a 4mm profile, these earrings offer a substantial visual impact without ear-lobe fatigue—a hallmark of genuine French Rhodoid.
Integrated Post Findings: Professional-grade pierced post assemblies mounted flush into the top of the taper for a seamless and secure fit using period-correct studio adhesive.
