Lab Sapphire Stud

The Story of This Piece

The New Name Earrings (Sapphire Studs) were made for the divorcée who owns the ring, owns the pendant, and wants the blue in her third face-visible place — on her earlobes.

Each earring is a single round lab blue sapphire, 5 millimeters, held in a four-prong basket on a sterling silver post. Butterfly back. The stud version of the reclamation story. Direct, one stone per ear, nothing else.

When I imagine you wearing them, I imagine the morning of a work presentation you've been dreading. You look at yourself in the mirror. You count three blue points — earring, pendant, ring. You walk out.
