A mismatched pair of crystal studs: a star for one ear and a crescent moon for the other.

Kris Nations casts both studs in recycled sterling silver and finishes them in 18K gold vermeil, a layer of at least 2.5 microns of gold. Each one is pave set with small cubic zirconia crystals. The pair is assembled in her Half Moon Bay, California studio and comes in a small corked glass bottle.

Each stud is about a quarter inch, so they sit neatly on the lobe or in an upper piercing. A thoughtful gift for a night owl or anyone who looks up.
