Lea Stein Paris Attributed Moonglow Layered Rhodoid Square Pyramid Pierced Earrings
Materials and Features:
Moonglow "Flat-Top" Inlay: Features a centerpiece of pearlized "Moonglow" Rhodoid, engineered to capture and refract light from within. This specific material was a staple of the 1970's Steinberger/Stein workshop.
Multi-Step Bordered Lamination: A complex architectural construction where each color (Blue, Green, Yellow) is bordered by a distinct, fused black Rhodoid "fence." This creates a sharp, graphic "Pyramid" effect that is impossible to achieve with standard paint or resin molds.
Geometric "Tile" Silhouette: A sleek, architectural square profile that reflects the "Modernist" energy of the late 1960's/early 1970's Parisian art scene.
Studio-Grade Engineering: Boasting a precise 3.8g weight and 5mm profile, these earrings are calibrated for comfortable all-day wear on the earlobe without drooping, a hallmark of genuine high-density cellulose acetate.
