Museums of History NSW Artifacts Hollow Moon Drop Earrings

Add to Wishlist

The allure of the hollow moon drop comes from the beautiful contrast of the black brass moon next to the warm, neutral tone of the art. Subtly striking, these earrings are an everyday style that still get the attention they deserve. Simple, yet you can't seem to look away.

Wear these for those afternoon plans that transition into the evening.

ABOUT THE DESIGN:

Our artifacts collection was inspired by gaming tokens. These bone, ceramic, and wooden gaming tokens were found by archaeologists at Hyde Park Barracks beneath the floors and appear to have been hand-carved by convicts from rubbish scraps and animal bones saved from their meals. Gambling with coins was common among convicts even though it was banned at the Barracks and punishable by a stint in the solitary confinement cells. We admire this innovation and feel it’s aligned with the way we use industrial materials to make something pretty for your ears!

If you love architecture, interiors, gardens or Australian history, a visit to any one of Sydney Living Museums’ historic homes and museums will reveal the fascinating people and stories of Sydney’s living history.
