Half of everything is day. A gold sun sits in a white sky at the top of each earring, its rays picked out bead by bead. Then, exactly where it always happens, the light gives way: the fringe falls into night — long black strands scattered with silver stars, and a silver crescent moon rising at the border between the two.

Wear them and the whole cycle swings from your ears: sunrise at the lobe, midnight at the shoulder. Row after patient row, one glossy bead at a time.

No two identical. Arrives gift-ready.

Sold as a pair. Czech glass seed beads, stainless-steel ear hooks. Recommendations: do not wet, protect from chemicals and perfume, store hanging or flat so the strands stay untangled. All items are handcrafted, so measurements are approximate, colors can vary and each one is unique.

The tale of this motif

Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

Beads for the night side

Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
