Crescent Moon Earrings – A Tribute to Ancient Pre-Columbian Cultures

These earrings are inspired by the stunning pre-Columbian jewelry worn by ancient civilizations.

✨ A Connection to History
Similar crescent-shaped earrings have been discovered in various pre-Columbian societies, including the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. However, the specific design that inspired this piece originates from Colombia and was originally crafted entirely in gold.

The name "Crescent Moon" was given to these earrings by archaeologists due to their resemblance to the way ancient civilizations depicted the moon—not just in the Americas, but also in Egypt and Mesopotamia. The moon held deep symbolic importance, as many ancient cultures followed lunar cycles rather than solar cycles to measure time.

🌿 A Handmade Tribute to Timeless Elegance
These earrings are my personal tribute to these mysterious and fascinating societies. Handmade with 100% cotton and featuring a hypoallergenic stainless steel stud, they blend history, craftsmanship, and modern wearability.

Care Instructions

⚠️ Keep Dry! These earrings have been starched to maintain their shape, so avoid contact with water, especially at the beach or while bathing.

💡 What to Do If They Get Wet?
1️⃣ Lay them flat to dry.
2️⃣ Iron them—cotton can withstand high temperatures.
3️⃣ Re-starch them using a bit of hairspray (yes, it works!).
