925 Princess Cut Earrings

Every jewelry box needs one clean square of light, and these rhodium-plated princess-cut stud earrings supply it: a single clear cubic zirconia per ear, set on .925 silver. Lauren G Adams keeps the design deliberately spare so the cut does the talking.

At six millimeters, the stones register without shouting, held in place by push backs on posts. Hand-finished and nickel- and lead-free, these are the studs to reach for daily — alone, or beside a huggie in a second piercing.
