Serene Man in the Moon Carved Moonstone Earrings by 720

I always look up at the Moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos. ~Tom Hanks

A pair of Man in the Moon carved moonstones, capped in recycled 14k gold and suspended on graceful, hand pulled ear wires. We love his tranquil face, smiling serenely at the universe. Moonstones have an otherworldly quality to their glow known as adularescence, which is caused by light scattering through their microscopic layers. Stories exist about the Man in the Moon in cultures all over the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere he appears upside down and more closely resembles a rabbit! Moonstones carved into the face of the Man in the Moon were very popular during the Art Nouveau era, an aesthetic which valued romance and mystery. These particular vintage moonstones came from our private collection. 

Designed and handcrafted by us right here in Portland Oregon. Pieces from our in-house line combine the timeless aesthetic of vintage jewelry with a modern sensibility. We use metal from a green certified refinery, and the vintage gems are drawn from our collection. You can own a beautifully handcrafted piece of jewelry and know it is created completely of recycled materials. 

Details.....The moons measure 10.5mm in diameter and the earrings are 0.95" long.
