Segmented Drop Earrings in Labradorite and Moonstone

• Cushion-cut gemstone cabochons
• Hammered-brass diamond accents
• French hook closure
• Alternating stone and metal links

Labradorite and moonstone are natural stones. Color, flash and pattern will vary slightly from one pair to the next.

Brass takes a hammered surface well. Struck by hand rather than cast smooth, each small diamond link ends up with its own rippled texture — the reason light lands unevenly along the drop instead of reading as a single polished plane.

Setting labradorite and moonstone into brass bezels is a common approach in Indian jewelry work: an accessible frame that keeps the focus on the stones. The two sit close in palette but far apart in behavior — labradorite flashing blue-green and gold, moonstone showing a milkier, more diffused glow.

The segmented construction is as practical as it is graphic. Link, stone, link, stone — each section pivots on its own jump ring, so the length moves rather than hangs stiff, and the whole piece stays light despite the long line.

• Technique: Hammered brass metalwork

Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store flat or hanging, away from moisture and other jewelry, to protect the hammered finish and the stones.
