Due to the natural variation in semi-precious stones, each moonstone and magnesite component may differ slightly in tone, pattern, or clarity. Keep away from water, perfume, and abrasion. Store in a soft pouch to protect finishes and stone surfaces.

The Story
This design leans on line rather than ornament: a slim brass triangle, left open at its center, does the work that a solid piece of metal would normally do, while the weight and color come from the stones it holds. The cylinder of magnesite and the sphere of peach moonstone are cut into simple, elemental shapes — a column and a ball — set against the angularity of the wire frame.
That contrast, straight structural lines carrying rounded natural forms, is a familiar move in modern studio jewelry, where designers use minimal metalwork as scaffolding for a stone's own color and texture rather than competing with it. Nothing here is stamped or cast as a single unit; each element is made separately and then joined, which is what gives the earring its sense of open space and movement.
The hook itself is worth a second look. Instead of a plain fishhook wire, it's been curved into a closed, "loss-proof" shape, a small piece of practical design thinking layered onto the otherwise decorative form.
Earrings like these start as flat sheet and wire, cut and shaped by hand into the triangular drop and the curved ear hook. The magnesite is cut into a smooth cylinder and the peach moonstone faceted into a sphere, then each stone is hand-strung and set into the brass framework before the piece is gold-plated and finished. It's assembled in a New Jersey studio, where a maker fits each stone to its setting individually, which is why no two pairs are perfectly identical.
Craft & Materials
- Made In: USA
- Ideal For: Someone who wants a lightweight, sculptural statement earring for regular wear
- Wear It With: Wear with simple necklines and warm neutrals, from desk to evening
- Purpose: Everyday wear, evening wear, gifting
- Gemstone: Peach Moonstone, Magnesite
- Metal: Gold-plated brass
Peach moonstone gets its warm, blush cast from trace iron in the feldspar structure, and its soft inner glow, known as adularescence, comes from light scattering between microscopic layers within the stone. Magnesite, cut here into a clean cylinder, is prized simply for its pale, faintly veined surface, which reads almost like marble in miniature. Both are valued for that quiet, understated coloring rather than for brightness or shine.
Questions & Answers
What makes the ear hooks "loss-proof"?
The gold-plated brass wire is curved into a closed loop rather than a plain open hook, so it sits more securely in the ear and is less likely to slip out.
How long do the earrings hang?
About 2.625 inches from the base of the ear hook down to the moonstone sphere.
Will my earrings look exactly like the photo?
Close, but not identical. Moonstone and magnesite are natural stones, so the tone, pattern, and clarity of each piece will vary slightly.
How do I care for these earrings?
Keep them away from water, perfume, and abrasive surfaces, and store them in a soft pouch when you're not wearing them to protect the plating and stone finish.
Are these handmade?
Yes. They're handcrafted in a New Jersey studio, with each magnesite and moonstone piece individually set into hand-formed brass wirework.
