Modernist Mixed Metal Celestial Crescent Moon Earrings

This is a pair of handcrafted dangle earrings featuring a modernist celestial design. Each earring is composed of two overlapping circular elements: a darkened copper or bronze-tone disk in the background and a contrasting brass or gold-tone crescent moon silhouette in the foreground. The construction uses a layering technique where the crescent is riveted or soldered onto the base metal, creating a three-dimensional effect with a central cutout. The metals exhibit a matte, brushed finish with a visible aged patina, particularly on the darker base disks which show subtle signs of oxidation and surface wear consistent with age. They are suspended from simple wire hooks, likely made of a base metal or gold-plated alloy, which appear slightly bent from use. While no maker's marks are visible in the image, the style is reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century artisan jewelry, possibly from the 1970s or 1980s. The craftsmanship suggests a studio-made or boutique production rather than mass-market manufacturing, given the slight asymmetry between the two pieces. There are minor scratches and tarnish throughout, but no major structural damage or missing components.
