A mythical Man-in-the-Moon, shown in crescent-shaped profile on one side, radiates moonbeams as he gazes ahead at the two big stars floating in front of him. A darkened oxidized finish to the sterling silver gives the earrings an aged look that complement the traditional character of this nocturnal celestial scene.
If this Man-in-the-Moon looks unhappy, it's probably because, according to folklore as early as the 12th century, he has been banished to the moon as a prisoner, for the crime of working - collecting sticks - on the Sabbath.
