Each sterling silver crescent has a deeply textured lunar surface, while the exposed rim is individually burnished and polished so that the tiny high points catch and sparkle in the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspended within each moon is an approximately 7mm Japanese Akoya cultured pearl. The pearls move independently from the silver crescents, allowing both the pearl and the textured metal to continually catch changing light as the earrings move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are an earlier version of a design that I have continued to develop, and I particularly love the organic character of this pair. Rather than being perfectly identical, the two moons have the subtle individuality that comes from their textured surfaces and my hand finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Sterling silver 25mm (main body)\u003cbr\u003e\n• Genuine Japanese Akoya cultured pearls\u003cbr\u003e\n• Pearls approximately 7mm\u003cbr\u003e\n• Sculptural crescent moon design\u003cbr\u003e\n• Textured lunar surfaces\u003cbr\u003e\n• Individually burnished and polished edges\u003cbr\u003e\n• Articulated pearl drops for movement\u003cbr\u003e\n• One finished pair available\u003cbr\u003e\n• Ready to ship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver moons begin as my original digital design and are professionally cast for me in sterling silver. I personally perform the finishing, burnishing, polishing and final assembly in my studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a pair that changes considerably with the light. From a distance they read as bright silver crescents and pearls; viewed closely, the cratered surfaces and individually polished edges reveal considerably more detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are substantial statement earrings, but the open crescent construction keeps their appearance airy on the ear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EnchantmentByDesign","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44155107672138,"sku":"SilverPearls_25mm_01","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4612\/7178\/files\/il_fullxfull.8521226573_mbyl.jpg?v=1788472804","url":"https:\/\/enchantmentbydesign.us\/products\/akoya-pearl-crescent-moon-earrings-silverpearls-25mm-01","provider":"EnchantmentByDesign","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
