GOLD VERMEIL AND MIXED SAPPHIRE GEMSTONE EARRINGS, ETHICAL JEWELLERY HANDMADE IN SYDNEY.

Ethical jewellery handmade on the southern coast of Sydney, the Demilune Earrings in Gold Vermeil with Mixed Sapphire_ _gemstones are completely handmade in Zoë's studio on Dharawal country. Sapphire is known as the wisdom stone - it helps focus and bring in peace of mind.

To make these earrings, firstly we make a mould in the clay and carefully place each sapphire gemstone. Then we melt down the recycled silver and hand pour it into the mould so that the stones are cast into place, not set. This process of sand casting or Delft clay casting results in one-of-a-kind fine jewellery pieces. Once cast, the Demilune Earrings are then plated in 18k gold. Due to the nature of this process, the stone colour, placement, texture and finish of every pair of Demilune Earrings will be unique. That’s the beauty of buying made to order, handmade jewellery!

Zoë Alexandria is ethical jewellery handmade in Australia. The metals and gemstones used in our rings, earrings and necklaces are responsibly sourced. The sapphires used in the Gold Vermeil Demilune Earrings are sourced from India and the silver is fabricated in Australia from a Sydney based refinery, using recycled materials. While the gold plating is not recycled, we believe in building a sustainable jewellery brand and you can read more about our studio ethos, material practices and trusted suppliers in our brand manifesto.

Do you have old jewellery that you want to be repurposed? Take a look at our recycling initiative. We encourage you to have a look through your jewellery box and send us any old pieces that you no longer wear. Let Zoë turn them into a pair of Demilune Earrings made from your old silver jewellery!

_These earrings have been handcrafted with recycled silver & 18k gold plate, and each individual earring contains approx. 0.075 - 0.10ct total of mixed coloured sapphire stones. To keep them safe please keep your Demilune Earrings in their reusable pouch and cardboard box when you’re not wearing them. Make sure you apply your lotions and perfumes before you put them on and if you plan to go swimming, surfing or maybe even rock climbing - don’t take them with you! _
