At the turn of the twentieth century, a surge of lunar and mystical interest galvanized into a brief trend of "man in the moon" themed jewelry. This Edwardian fad usually included a moonstone carved into the shape of a face, and sometimes twinkling diamonds were added to evoke stars (see our Man in the Moon Ring). Our plaintive moonman stud earrings are encircled with a yellow gold crescent.
