Moonlight Like Silk Earrings
925 sterling silver, moissanite, for daily wear
Low-key, durable, worth a second look - moissanite and 925 sterling silver, each doing its part. The full story of Moonlight Like Silk is in the section below.
Cast in one piece of 925 sterling silver with the moissanite set low by hand - it will not catch on sleeves, scarves or hair. Weighs about 3.6 g; made for all-day wear.
Arrives with a silver-polishing cloth and a fabric pouch; clearly stamped S925. No fussy upkeep - just remove it before swimming or bathing.
Symbolism
Moonlight Like Silk
The ancients called moonlight 'yue hua' and said it hung like a bolt of white silk let down from heaven to earth. The Last Emperor Li wrote of the hook-thin moon as he climbed his tower alone; Fan Zhongyan watched 'one vast emptiness of mist, a bright moon over a thousand miles.' When moving light sways at your ears, what hangs there is that same bolt: bright, and soft.
