The Quarter Moon Statement Stud Earrings are handcrafted using sterling silver wire, then hand-stamped, oxidized, and polished. Anyone can rock these stepped-up studs day-to-day. 

• I am retiring this size of the Quarter Moon Stud Earrings, so this is the last pair! You can shop the smaller version of this design . 
• Sterling silver ear posts come with rubber backings. Make sure you wear these so the earrings stay put!
• Due to the individually handcrafted quality of every piece, there may be slight variations in each pair of earrings. These variations do not take away from the value of the jewelry...they simply add beauty and individuality!

Why invest in sterling silver jewelry?
Sterling silver jewelry is worth the investment. It is comprised of 92.5% pure silver, and 7.5% copper, which adds strength to the precious metal. Handmade sterling silver jewelry will last much longer than mass-produced/storebought jewelry, which is typically made of a variety of cheap base metals or coated plastic. Although jewelry made from base metals will look pretty and shiny in the store, they wear down quickly, are difficult to polish, and are more likely to cause skin irritation. Alternatively, sterling silver is very easy to maintain and keep looking beautiful for years. Sterling silver is less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation, so it is a great option for sensitive skin-especially around the ears and neck. An extra bonus: rings made from sterling silver won't turn your fingers green! Handmade sterling silver jewelry can be more expensive, but it will also last much longer and be much more meaningful compared to the mass-produced alternative.
