These whimsical pieces capture a serene moment under the night sky. A leaping hare, painted by hand in vitreous enamel, dances across an iridescent moon. The moon’s soft glow is complemented by a luminous citrine drop below, symbolizing a single radiant star.
The polished silver surrounding the citrine reflects light like starlight, while the rest of the sterling silver circle features a soft satin finish for a dreamy, understated texture.
These earrings are a glimpse into a world where the moon watches over us, and the hare carries whispers of renewal and wonder.

Fun fact:
Vitreous enamel, a technique cherished for centuries, traces its origins back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, who adorned jewelry with its vibrant hues as far back as 1500 BCE. What sets vitreous enamel apart is not just its rich history but also its remarkable durability. Crafted from fused glass, the colors are permanently bonded to the metal base, ensuring they never scratch off or fade over time. This fusion of glass and metal creates jewelry that not only dazzles with its timeless beauty but also stands strong against the wear and tear of everyday life.

Care for your Enamel Jewelry:
I have chosen high-quality materials to create a piece of artful jewelry that will last a lifetime. Even though they will be so comfortable, you might forget they are there, try not to bathe or swim with them. Moisture from the water will cause your silver to darken very quickly, especially chlorine. Next, put on perfume or body spray before your jewelry, and lastly, I recommend removing it before using cleaning products. Many will cause silver to darken from the fumes, and some can even hurt your enamel, so to be careful, I always recommend removing all jewelry. A beautiful care card will come with your jewelry.
