Sterling Silver Crescent Moon Stud Earrings
These little earrings seem simple but they take a lot of work to create! Each moon starts as sterling silver 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 silver, 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 the silver.
These earrings come with sterling silver tension earring backs to hold them securely in place
