Set the studs in your palm near a window and the cubic zirconia catches the light at once. There are two pairs: a small cross and a slender emerald-cut stone, both set in rhodium-plated brass with a gleaming silver color.
Look closer and the scale becomes clear. The cross measures roughly a third of an inch tall, and the emerald-cut stud is under a quarter inch. At that size, the cross reads as a quiet expression of faith, and there’s room to add its companion if you have a second piercing.
Mix them for church on Sunday. Wear the emerald-cut pair alone to the office, then put the crosses on by themselves for family dinner. Two pairs, laid out on the dresser, give you three ways to finish getting ready.
