Throughout history, a rectangular shape with a particular ratio, the golden ratio, has been studied by mathematicians and revered by architects and artists of all kinds for its aesthetically pleasing proportions. Here are some golden (and not so golden) rectangular finds:
1) Pink jade rectangular hoops 
2) Anne Koplik antique brass rectangle earrings
3) Michal Golan jet black and glass Swarovski crystal earrings
4) T. Cyia wood, jade, and turquoise necklace
5) Adina rectangle chain necklace
6) & 7) Something Silver reversible lapis bangle & Baroni Chinese turquoise necklace
