Lea Stein Attributed Rainbow Laminated Rhodoid Plastic Modernist Half Hoop Pierced Earrings
Materials and Features:
Artisan Angle-Cut Lamination: A sophisticated architectural design featuring deep, machine-polished bevels along the outer edge. This specialized hardware technique "opens up" the layered Rhodoid construction, revealing a vibrant, multi-color spectrum from every angle.
Rhodoid "Sandwich" Construction: Crafted using the proprietary high-pressure lamination process developed in the Steinberger/Stein workshop. This method "bakes" multiple wafers of high-quality cellulose acetate into a single, seamless block of color.
Modernist Flat Half-Hoop Silhouette: A sleek, minimalist "C" curve design that captures the bold, experimental energy of the 1970's Parisian studio era. The flat-face profile provides a clean, "Post-Modern" aesthetic.
Lightweight Studio Engineering: Boasting a comfortable 7g weight, these earrings offer a substantial visual impact without the ear-lobe fatigue typical of mass-produced vintage resins or heavy metals.
Integrated Post Findings: Equipped with professional-grade pierced post assemblies mounted flush into the top of the hoop curve for a seamless and secure fit.
