Sun and moon earrings, a pair for the everyday and after dark
A sun and a moon as a pair, in 316L steel with real-gold PVD over the face. The coating is bonded in a vacuum rather than dipped in a tank, so it holds its colour on the edges that rub against hair and collars.
Overview
About this sun and moon pvd earrings
A two-motif pair is a small design trick that sells well: the sun and the moon read as a set, so customers buy them as one purchase rather than hunting for two earrings that match. It also gives you a piece that suits both a plain day look and a dressier one, which is what makes it last in a range.
The finish is the part worth specifying. The gold is applied as PVD, bonded in a vacuum chamber at a molecular level, which is considerably harder and more abrasion-resistant than gold electroplate of the same colour. On an earring that is exactly where it matters, because the back of the motif is the edge that rubs all day.

FAQ
Questions about this sun and moon pvd earrings
Are the posts safe for sensitive ears?
316L is the grade most often recommended for sensitive ears, and we can support the claim with testing rather than a promise. For Europe, EN 1811 measures nickel released from the surface rather than nickel in the alloy, with a threshold of 0.5 µg/cm²/week for items in prolonged skin contact. Tell us the market and we will arrange the applicable test, quoted as its own line.
Will the gold wear off the motifs?
PVD wears far more slowly than gold electroplate because it is bonded in a vacuum and is harder, so it resists the friction on the back of the motif where plated earrings fail first. The honest limit is that any coated surface eventually wears somewhere; for a lifetime piece we would point you to the bare steel tone.
Can they be worn in the shower?
Yes. The steel does not tarnish, rust or leave a mark, so the earrings are fine in a shower or a swim. If you order the gold version, note that the coating, not the steel, is the part that ages with wear, and we state its thickness in microns on the quotation.
