The artful illusion was in the setting, generally, a larger custom-shaped bezel in which rounds were pavé-set; however, not in the composite placement of the stones. Therefore, the expert level of stone setting in these studs is a nod and variation of this design sensibility. Additionally, the earrings reference techniques from the Art Deco period, where custom geometric-cut gemstones were tightly set against one another to create a lush, jeweled...
