Diamond Slice Hoop Earrings
If you have not yet met a diamond slice, then let me introduce you to something truly unique and extraordinary.
Diamonds are an extraordinary stone. They are the strongest of the bunch and have an unfathomable history of heat, pressure, a billion years and volcanic eruption. These slices show a glimpse of their extreme story...
They are dainty shards of mottled and intriguing, glass-like slices, containing their own little galaxies of a story, each one is completely unique to the next, and they sparkle like the diamonds that they are!
Here the stones are polished and faceted front and back, but left with raw and ragged edges, encased in hand-laid gold, framing and encircling the stone, leaving both sides raw and exposed.
I handpick each slice individually, seeking out slices of light and reflection that have something striking about them. I will sift through hundreds of stones to find my few and won't work with anything I am not in love with.
Cast in place, the gold forms to the stone in a unique, organic, and unruly manner, in keeping with the randomized, free-hand style that is our signature style.
Every single slice is unique and no two are ever the same, so natural variances will occur from piece to piece.
Wear solo, as a miss-matched pair, or combine and layer up with my other hoops of different designs and dimensions!
Made to order, right here in NYC, please allow 2-3 weeks for turn around and delivery, contact for rush orders.

18k Royal Yellow -
Our 18k Royal Yellow is the perfect blend of yellow Gold’s with a warmer hue - less green than some - which is extremely beautiful - rich and refined - on all skin tones.
18k Rose Gold -
Our 18k Rose Gold is the result of an infusion of copper and a touch of silver into our Gold, giving it that warm, rich, earthy quality that makes Rose Gold such a beautiful metal. The silver paling it from the otherwise ‘red gold’, the copper adding a blush. The result is what we call our “dusty rose”. Indeed this just might be our all-time favourite metal blend.
Our Signature 10k Gold -
Our signature 10k Yellow Gold is an unsung hero. An underestimated Gold, this is a beautiful, very strong, pale and creamy gold that shines brilliantly and pops against all skin tones - being naturally less yellow and brassy than the typical 18-24kt Golds.
As the flashy "Kardashian culture" evolved, the higher karat golds became more coveted, but time and time again it's my 10 karat pieces that people notice and fall in love with. It's a beautiful fine metal, strong, classy and unpretentious. We're bringing it back!
Platinum -
Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is much stronger, and therefore used in jewelry in almost a pure form (approximately 95% pure).
Platinum is extremely long wearing and is less grey than the mislabeled white gold, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold does.
Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.
White Gold -
We do do white gold on occasion, but are less fickle about the karat. White gold is actually a grey metal, and is almost always Rhodium plated to appear more white. For this reason, we tend to use 14kt White Gold as it is strong and durable.
Ring size is very specific to each individual, so I highly recommend you print out our Ring Sizer for guidance - it is VITAL that you print it out at 100% scale on your printer. Some printers automatically adjust the scale settings, so please be diligent when checking.
The thicker the band, the more snuggly it will fit, so I recommend you size up half a size for anything north of a 5mm wide band.
