This object qualifies for free USA shipping and a flat rate fee of $75 if shipping internationally.
This elegant pair of earrings combines ancient craftsmanship with modern refinement. The crescent-shaped pendants are Roman, delicately fashioned in high karat gold with polished surfaces and inset with warm red jasper, a stone valued for both its beauty and protective qualities. The pendants are suspended from contemporary 14K gold posts set with 0.025-carat white diamonds (I1–I2 clarity, H–J color; 0.35 total carat weight). In antiquity, crescent forms were closely associated with the moon and feminine protection, making these earrings both adornments and amulets that bridged the realms of elegance and symbolism.

Dimensions: Pendant length: 3/4 inch (1.9 cm), Overall drop length: 1 1/8 inch (2.09 cm)
Condition: The pendants are intact and in excellent condition. They've been converted into earrings with modern posts.
