Natural Half-Moon Diamond Stud Earrings in Silver- "Shoji Lantern"

Picture lanterns drifting across still water at dusk, and you're most of the way to understanding these studs. The Shoji Lantern earrings, designed by Michael Jensen, frame warm 22K gold accents that seem to rise upward through the design, like light catching on the water's surface, set against the architectural lines of Jenson's signature Shoji silhouette.

Below the gold, four natural half-moon-shaped diamonds sit like reflected moonlight, adding brilliance without tipping the whole thing into flashy. The frame itself is oxidized sterling silver, textured for depth and shadow so the gold and diamonds have something dark to glow against.

These are a good pick for someone who wants jewelry with real architecture to it: a gallery opening, a celebratory dinner, or any evening that calls for something with more presence than your everyday studs. The half-moon diamond cut alone sets them apart from more conventional stud designs, and the mix of oxidized silver and high-karat gold gives them staying power well beyond one season.

FAQ

Will the color I see on my screen match the earrings in person?
The oxidized silver and gold in these earrings can read slightly differently depending on the light around them, and your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the earrings you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.
