The story of the design
Simple. Direct. Unapologetically dark.
These Elite Shungite oval solitaire studs feature matched 7x5mm faceted stones totaling 0.90 carats. Cut from high-carbon Type I Shungite, each stone presents a deep, light-absorbing black that reads bold without relying on brilliance or flash.
Set in solid 925 sterling silver and finished in bright rhodium plating for durability and polish, the four-prong design keeps the silhouette clean and minimal. No halos. No distraction. Just structured black form against bright metal.
Secured with classic post backs for everyday stability and comfort, these studs are built to layer effortlessly or stand alone with quiet authority.
This is controlled minimalism — done correctly.
Please Note:This piece features genuineElite Shungite (Type I High-Carbon Shungite, 90–98% carbon). Not all shungite is jewelry-grade — most commercially available material contains significantly lower carbon content and is not suitable for precision faceting.
