It does what everyday earrings should: moissanite set in 925 silver, shining in pairs, quiet up close. The full story of Startled Magpies is 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 4.9 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

Startled Magpies

Walking the sand-road at night, Xin Qiji noted: 'The bright moon startles magpies off the branch; a midnight breeze carries cicada song.' Moonlight so clear it roused the roosting birds - the highest compliment light can receive. May the point of light at your ear carry the same weight: everyone passing by looks up for you.
