## Sun and Moon Earrings with Hand-Engraved Sardonyx Cameos – 925 Sterling Silver, Yellow Gold-Plated, with Cubic Zirconia
Elegant women's earrings crafted from **925 sterling silver plated with yellow gold**, adorned with authentic **hand-engraved sardonyx cameos** depicting the enchanting meeting of the Sun and the Moon.
Each cameo is handcrafted according to the ancient engraving tradition of **Torre del Greco**, with 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 **gold-tone circular setting adorned with a double border of sparkling white cubic zirconia**, adding brilliance and refinement to the piece.
Compact yet rich in detail, these earrings are a sophisticated accessory, perfect for those who appreciate 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.
