Sunshine & Moonlight earrings

Recycled vintage fruit spoon

These lovely, unique earrings are handcrafted and recycled from old vintage fruit spoon. The design is drawn onto the underside of the spoon and then pierced out with a small jewellers saw and a drill. The earrings are presented with the actual ‘donor’ spoon from which they were made. This is ‘worked-upon’ and is transformed into a lovely little objet d’art which clearly demonstrates the green and ethical origins of the earrings whilst simultaneously connecting the wearer to their interesting one wondrous prior life!

The sun and moon are represent, duality and balance, often embodying opposing forces like day and night, light and darkness, activity and rest. They also symbolize the cyclical nature of life, with the sun representing vitality and the moon representing reflection. In literature, their interplay can illustrate themes of harmony, transformation, and the human experience.

The Sun:
  • Energy and Activity: The sun is often associated with masculine energy, vibrancy, and action.
  • Consciousness and Illumination: It symbolizes clarity, awareness, and the unveiling of truth.
  • Arrogance and Power: In some contexts, the sun can represent arrogance or the ego, particularly when juxtaposed with the moon.
  • Life and Vitality: It embodies the life-giving force, warmth, and the potential for growth. 
The Moon:
  • Receptivity and Femininity:
    The moon is often linked to feminine energy, intuition, and the subconscious. 

  • Reflection and Mystery:
    It represents introspection, dreams, and the hidden aspects of the self. 

  • Cyclical Nature:
    The moon’s phases symbolize the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth. 

  • Supernatural Influence:
    In some literary works, the moon is associated with the supernatural, magic, and the unseen forces of nature. 

Symbolic Interplay:
  • Duality and Balance:
    The sun and moon together represent the interplay of opposing forces that create balance and harmony in the universe and within individuals. 

  • Transformation and Change:
    Their cyclical nature, where one follows the other, often symbolizes change, growth, and the constant flux of life. 

  • Harmony and Unity:
    The sun and moon, despite their differences, can also symbolize the unity of opposing energies and the interconnectedness of all things. 

  • Yin and Yang:
    In some traditions, the sun represents yang (masculine, active) and the moon represents yin (feminine, receptive), highlighting the dynamic relationship between these forces.

  • Impossible Love:
    The sun and moon, though they don’t shine at the same time, can symbolize an impossible love or a fleeting moment of connection.

Handmade and completely recycled in Cambridge, UK. Complete with the finest sterling silver earwires.

    What a lucky birthday girl I am!

    Oh my goodness, I’m in love. I have wanted some Hairy Growler jewellery for a while now, so when I opened these wonderful earrings on my 30th birthday I was stunned. The skill in making them is clear and the design simply beautiful. The sun and moon are symbols very important to my partner and I, so to have them so beautifully crafted to wear every day is perfect. The ethical source of this jewellery is great and the spoon they came from is a gorgeous piece of art in itself.
    I really couldn’t be happier.
