These Minoan-style earrings borrow from a roughly 5000-year-old bronze hoop earring design housed at the Met Museum.
I've taken this 2nd millennium BC crescent moon and adapted it to a dangling hoop design. It is about 1.5" tall, including a French hook, and cast in your choice of metal.
This item is created by lost wax casting a 3D-printed mold, and it is manufactured and hand-finished in the United States.

Manifesting History
My process starts with curating museum collections to find interesting pieces of jewelry and art to recreate.
I digitalize original pieces into exact 3d models. My careful replicas are then 3d printed in wax.
One Ring at a Time
I use lost wax casting in order to fabricate a ring in metal. It's a technique with a history dating back at least 6500 years. All items are cast in precious metal, stamped and hand-finished here in the USA.
Brass and silver pieces are usually stocked and ship in 1-3 days.
Gold jewelry is usually cast to order and ships in 2-3 weeks.
