These Lunar Universe double drop earrings in sterling silver each feature two Lunar cup-mark designs. The top section uses a standard earring stud, with the second design delicately dropping from the first. The earrings are hand-finished in our Orkney workshop in Midnight Gold enamel and feature individually placed 24ct yellow gold flakes. They have an overall drop of approximately 26mm.
Sheila’s Lunar designs are textured like the surface of rock and her Lunar Universe enamelled designs are enhanced with beautiful flakes of 24ct yellow gold. Due to the hand-crafted nature of these designs, and the delicate placement of individual gold flakes by our skilled enamellers, every piece from Sheila's Lunar Universe collection is unique.
Thousands of years ago at the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney, people carved hollows or cup-marks of various sizes in rough rock, perhaps to signify an event or to follow the passage of time as the moon waxed and waned. Sheila's inspiration for this collection followed after a visit to the Orkney Museum in Kirkwall, where some of these ancient carvings can be seen.
