SINGLE Inverted Diamond Mini Spur Stud

An inverted diamond setting flips the stone upside down -- the pavilion, the pointed faceted cone normally hidden inside the bezel, faces up instead of the flat table. The effect is sculptural rather than sparkly: geometric, architectural, and quietly arresting at a 5mm scale that makes it easy to forget how much is going on in there.

The Spur adds twelve radiating points around the stone, like a compass or a spur rowel, each one a tiny direction. EMBLM describes this piece as "a source of energy and direction" -- which sounds right. It's a stud that reads as minimalist from a distance and rewards a closer look.

Available in 14k with a black round brilliant cut diamond (0.03ctw). Sold as a single.

ABOUT EMBLM FINE JEWELRY

EMBLM Fine Jewelry was founded in 2019 in Los Angeles by Emily Landers-Sorensen and Mariko Enkoji-Busch, born from a shared desire to make timeless, distinctive fine jewelry that could become deeply personal heirlooms -- pieces that are "at once iconic and intimate," drawing from art, architecture, and the natural world.

Every piece is made to order by a small team of artisans in downtown Los Angeles, using primarily recycled and re-refined precious metals, Kimberley Process-certified diamonds, and packaging handmade in-house from hand-poured concrete and reclaimed wood -- all reusable, recyclable, and plastic-free.

EMBLM also runs an Artist Partnership Collective, a collaborative program through which they co-create designs with artists they admire, donating a portion of proceeds to an organization of each artist's choice.
