Stella Fiore — Italian: "Star Flower" — a nod to the open star-shaped center cutout and four-petal flower silhouette.

📖 Full Description

Where architecture meets nature.

The "Stella Fiore" Stud Earrings are inspired by the same timeless Alhambra quatrefoil motif drawn from the legendary Moorish architecture of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain — the same centuries-old geometric language that graced palace archways and sacred spaces since the 13th century. Here, the motif is reimagined as a bold four-petal flower with an open star-shaped center cutout, creating a stunning interplay of light, shadow, and color.

Each earring features four pointed petals radiating from a central open cross-star void, framed on both the outer perimeter and the inner cutout edges by an intricate rope-twist gold border — a hand-crafted detail that catches light from every angle and elevates each piece from beautiful to breathtaking. The petals are set with richly colored natural gemstones in your choice of three stunning varieties:

• 🖤 Onyx — Deep jet-black with a smooth high-gloss finish. Bold, dramatic, and timelessly chic.
• 🌿 Malachite — Vivid emerald green with bold natural swirling banding patterns unique to every stone. No two pairs are exactly alike.
• 🔵 Lapis Lazuli — Rich royal navy blue, the stone of wisdom and truth, worn by royalty and artists for centuries.

Set in 14K gold-filled metal — the finest tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic alternative to solid gold — each earring posts through the corner of one petal for a distinctive, architectural placement. Secured with a silicone butterfly push-back for all-day comfort. At ¾ inch in diameter, they make a confident statement without overwhelming.

Wear them alone for understated elegance, or stack them into a curated ear look with pieces from the Clover Bloom or Fleur collections for a full architectural jewelry moment.
