These earrings lend your ears a little bit of the ancient world, back when slings were effective weapons. They're more of a hobby these days, but that doesn't mean you can't still show your appreciation for an oldie' but goodie'

I formed these earrings from sterling silver strip and wire - making a cold connection between the two. They're hammered for a texture similar to fabric, but not quite.

These earrings are approx. 1.5 in. from top of hook to bottom of sling, or 4.5 cm.
The hooks are sterling silver, stamped 925.

This item will be shipped gift-wrapped.

Peaches - Earrings

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:24:10 -0400

$14.00
I believe it was one of the esteemed Presidents of the USA who said 'If I had my way, I'd eat peaches everyday.'

Tiny peach moonstones rest securely in a sterling silver notched setting. They're the perfect size for everyday wear, or provide that subtle hint of color to match an outfit. These stones have that gentle shimmering glow that regular moonstones have, but with a brighter peach color. You may not be able to eat them, but they'll still look delicious on your ears!

The peach moonstones are 4mm across, making the earrings approx 5 mm.
The ear posts are sterling silver, stamped 925.
These earrings will be shipped gift-wrapped.
