Helios Moonrise Earrings
$58.00
1 available
These dreamy stud earrings are feather light in your ears, and light on the planet too.
I call this design Helios, for the ancient Greek god of the sun. This is the Helios earring in the Moonrise colour way. Ok, it's not the sun... but the sun shining on the moon creates the light by which we get a moonrise so let me have this one, yeah?
Be like the moon and reflect the light that shines on you!
| Description |
Helios Moonrise is composed of a 1.25 inch diameter circle, cut from a pebbled medium grey leather. On this backdrop, a light grey /4 inch half circle moon spills its moonlight in a deeply tanned rosy peach vegetable tanned hand cut half circle.

| The Tellurian Collection |
These earrings are part of the Tellurian collection. Tellurian means “dweller on the earth” or “of, relating to, or characteristic of the earth.” Each piece is named for an element of the universe. My hope is they evoke a sense of belonging to the place we find ourselves, and a reminder that we are a part of nature.
| How They were Made |
Helios are made of recycled leather, which has been cut, trimmed and buffed with a conservation and restoration grade wax that resists dirt and stains. The leather shapes are then joined by jewellery-industry-standard adhesive to one another. Solid sterling silver posts adhere sturdily and come with sterling silver butterfly cap backings.
Each pair is made with my two hands in my studio on the traditional territory of the Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ and Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin).
| Care |
Please avoid handling the earrings with dirty or wet fingers. Do not get wet, lay flat to store. In time, the copper jump rings will develop a darker patina that can be brightened with a quick buff of a polishing cloth.
| Shipping |
Your earrings ship for free in minimalist, environmentally friendly packaging and will be mailed within one to two business days of receiving your order. As they are essentially one of a kind and irreplaceable, they will be shipped to you with tracking and include insurance coverage in the case of loss or damage on route, at no extra cost to you.
| A note about my descriptions of the vegetable tanned leather (the blush/nude/pink) |
Blush and nude are very euro-centric terms that imply white skin as standard. I have tried my best to find alternative descriptions that still convey the precise colour of the pieces so you can feel comfortable choosing the perfect pair for you!
