Materials and Features:

• Artisan Aperture Construction: A technical masterclass in negative-space engineering. These earrings feature a bold circular cutout (aperture) carved from a solid multi-layer block. This "Open Hoop" architecture provides a striking geometric silhouette with deep-plane structural presence.

• Rhodoid Sandwich Lamination: Crafted using the proprietary high-pressure lamination process from the Stein workshop. This method heat-fuses Blue, Green, and Yellow cellulose acetate wafers into a single, seamless industrial block. The vibrant color horizons are visible through the entire material DNA.

• High-Octane Glace Luster: The surfaces exhibit a mirror-smooth studio finish. The clarity of the lamination—with zero "clouding" between the fused layers—is the industrial hallmark of the Steinberger heat-fusion method.

• Substantial Executive Engineering: Boasting a significant 22g total mass, these architectural drops offer a premium tactile feel and a high-fashion drape. The silver-tone post-to-hoop mechanical linkages provide fluid movement while ensuring the weight remains securely stabilized on the ear.

Type: Pierced Flat Hoop Drops with integrated mechanical linkages
Age/Origin: Circa 1975–1978 / Paris, France (Lea Stein Paris Attributed)
Marks: Unmarked (Attributed based on documented lamination technique and Material DNA)

Measurements:

• Weight: 22g (Heavyweight Pair)

• Thickness: 5mm (At center)

• Dimensions: Hangs approx. 2.75” x 2” wide

Condition: Excellent Archival Condition. Both high-gloss surfaces remain exceptionally bright and the internal bond is perfectly stabilized with no separation or "clouding."
