Brass and Sterling Silver Crescent Moon Stud Earrings
These little earrings seem simple but they take a lot of work to create! Each moon starts as brass scrap which I recycle by melting into a ball with my jeweler's torch. I then hammer each ball onto a shot plate which has a crescent moon shape engraved into the surface. After I have hammered each ball into a rough moon shape, I then saw and sand off the excess brass, leaving a beautiful tiny crescent moon. After the moons are fully shaped I solder the sterling silver posts onto the backs, then the earrings head into a tumbler full of steel shot to work harden them.
These earrings come with sterling silver tension earring backs to hold them securely in place
Each set is made to order so every pair will be unique and may differ slightly from the pair pictured
