## Sun and Moon Earrings with Hand-Carved Sardonyx Cameos – 925 Sterling Silver, Yellow Gold-Plated, and Cubic Zirconia

Refined women’s earrings crafted in **925 sterling silver plated with yellow gold**, adorned with genuine **hand-carved sardonyx cameos** depicting the fascinating meeting of the Sun and the Moon.

Each cameo is handcrafted according to the ancient carving tradition of **Torre del Greco** and features delicate raised details that highlight the natural contrast between the white figures and the shell’s brown background.

The cameos are set in an elegant **circular gold-plated setting embellished with a double row of sparkling white cubic zirconia**, lending the jewel radiance and refinement.

Their compact yet detailed design makes these earrings a sophisticated accessory, perfect for anyone who loves Italian craftsmanship and jewellery with symbolic meaning.

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.
