Sole and Moon Cameos Earrings handcrafted with Sardonic Cameos – 925 Sterling Silver plated in Yellow Gold with White Zircons
Elegant women’s earrings in 925 silver plated in yellow gold, featuring authentic hand-engraved sardonyx cameos depicting the enchanting meeting of the Sun and the Moon.
Each cameo is handcrafted following the ancient Torre del Greco engraving tradition, with delicate relief details that highlight the natural contrast between the white figures and the dark shell background.
The cameos are set in a refined circular yellow-gold mounting, adorned with a double border of sparkling white zircons, adding brightness and sophistication to the piece.
A compact yet richly detailed design makes these earrings a sophisticated accessory for lovers of Italian craft and jewels with symbolic meaning.

THE MEANING OF THE SUN AND MOON
The Sun and Moon symbolize balance between opposites, harmony and complementarity. The Sun stands for light, energy and vitality, while the Moon evokes intuition, femininity and mystery. United in a single cameo, they create a symbol rich in charm and meaning, making these earrings an ideal special gift.
CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ELEGANCE
Each cameo is hand-engraved by master artisans, making every piece a small work of art. The double border of white zircons enhances the central motif, creating an elegant play of light against the natural tones of the shell. The yellow-gold plating adds warmth and luminosity, while the stud and butterfly closures ensure comfortable wear.
Thanks to their compact size and total weight of about 4.5 g, these earrings are perfect for daily wear as well as for elegant occasions, ceremonies and special milestones.

A jewel that captures the harmony of the Sun and Moon, the radiance of zircons, and the true craftsmanship of Torre del Greco engravers. A refined, symbolic, and timeless creation, a testament to Italian artisanal excellence.
Seller's Story
My creations are born at the heart of Italy’s artisanal tradition in Torre del Greco, a world-renowned symbol for coral processing and cameo carving.
Each piece of jewelry is the result of knowledge handed down through generations: the coral is carefully selected, the cameo hand-carved by master artisans, every detail refined according to techniques that belong to the history of Mediterranean jewelry art.
I believe in authenticity, in natural materials and in the value of manual work. For this reason I offer only pieces that embody identity, culture and passion, pure expressions of Italian excellence.
Each object is not just a piece of jewelry, but a fragment of tradition that continues to live on through time.
