Helion Emerald Starburst Hoop Earrings – 0.52ct

Why You'll Love It

The Helion Emerald Starburst Hoop Earrings are the most dramatic piece in our emerald collection — a pavé diamond huggie hoop at the top, a ten-point starburst charm dangling below, a round lab-grown emerald prong-set at the center of the starburst and surrounded by a continuous pavé of round brilliant lab-grown diamonds that radiate outward through each of the ten points. At 11.5mm wide and 22.6mm long, the Helion is the largest earring we make — a piece that moves with the ear, catches light from every angle, and announces itself from across a room. The click-hinge closure on the huggie hoop holds the earring securely while allowing the starburst charm to swing freely below, creating a continuous play of movement and light that is impossible to ignore.

The Ten-Point Starburst

The starburst — a radial pattern of points emanating from a central stone — is one of the oldest motifs in jewelry, used across cultures and centuries to represent the sun, the stars, and the light they cast. In the Helion, the starburst has ten points — two more than the conventional eight-point star — giving it a density and a fullness that reads as a complete circle of light rather than a sparse geometric shape. Each of the ten points is set with a continuous line of pavé diamonds that runs from the central emerald to the tip of the point, so that the starburst appears to radiate light outward from the vivid green center in ten directions simultaneously. The result is a charm that catches light from every angle as it swings below the huggie hoop — a small, perpetually moving sun of green and white fire.

The Pavé Diamond Huggie

The huggie hoop at the top of the Helion is set with round brilliant lab-grown diamonds across its entire outer face — a continuous pavé that wraps around the hoop from one end of the click-hinge to the other, so that the hoop appears to be made entirely of diamonds when viewed from the front. The click-hinge closure — a hinged post that snaps into a receiving socket with an audible click — is the most secure and most convenient closure for a huggie hoop: no threading, no screwing, no tools required, just a firm press to close and a gentle squeeze to open. The huggie sits close to the lobe, its inner diameter sized to hug the ear without pinching, while the starburst charm hangs freely below from a jump ring at the base of the hoop.

VS Diamond Clarity

VS — Very Slightly Included — is the clarity grade at which diamonds are eye-clean under all normal viewing conditions and show only minor inclusions under 10× magnification. In a pavé setting, where each diamond is small and surrounded by other diamonds and gold, VS clarity ensures that every stone in the Helion contributes its full brilliance to the overall effect: no visible inclusions to interrupt the continuous field of white fire across the huggie hoop and the starburst points.

Our Story

In our Queens atelier, the Helion was designed as our most expressive emerald earring — a piece that combines the wearability of a huggie hoop with the drama of a starburst charm, the security of a click-hinge with the movement of a dangle, the vivid green of a lab emerald with the white fire of VS pavé diamonds. Named for Helios, the Greek god of the sun — the one who drove the solar chariot across the sky each day, trailing light behind him — the Helion is an earring that carries its own light source: the emerald at the center, the diamonds radiating outward, the whole piece swinging and catching light with every movement of the head.
