Bold Stacked Circles Earrings (Litmus)
- Hand-set crystal micro-mosaic in a bold, stacked geometric silhouette.
- Sterling silver settings, hypoallergenic and nickel-free.
- 1¾ inch drop — confident presence without pulling weight.
Somewhere between a mosaic floor in a Roman bathhouse and the stacked geometries of a Bauhaus textile exercise, there is a quiet truth about circles: they never compete. Stack them, overlap them, crowd them together — each one still reads as whole. No corners to negotiate, no edges to reconcile. Just one unbroken line repeated, and the eye moves freely.
Mosaico Jewels, working out of Guadalajara, Mexico, has built a practice around micro-mosaic — the painstaking art of setting tiny crystals by hand into metal frameworks, a technique with roots stretching back to Byzantine workshops where artisans assembled portraits from tesserae smaller than a fingernail. What those ancient craftspeople understood, and what Mosaico still honors, is that color isn't flat. It's architectural. Each crystal is individually placed, catching and refracting light at its own angle, so the surface shimmers with a living quality no printed or enameled finish can replicate.
These earrings carry that legacy in a boldly modern silhouette — three graduated circles stacked vertically, each one inlaid with hand-set crystals in the warm, shifting tones of litmus. The palette hovers between earth and jewel, grounded but luminous, the kind of color range that looks completely different in morning light than it does at a dinner table.
Set in sterling silver with hypoallergenic ear wires, each earring hangs 1¾ inches from the top of the wire and weighs just 3 grams per earring — substantial enough to catch the light with real authority, light enough that you forget they're there between glances in the mirror. The sterling framework gives each circle clean definition, letting the mosaic work speak without distraction.
Handcrafted by Mosaico Jewels.

MODERN MOSAIC

Mosaico Jewels carries that tradition forward, hand-setting individual crystals into sterling silver to create jewelry with the depth and texture of something you'd find behind museum glass.

Got questions?
We've got answers
Find fast answers about shipping, returns, and our unique jewelry.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders ship within one business day of placing your order — sometimes the same day. Economy shipping typically takes about a week via USPS, while standard shipping (Priority Mail) arrives in 2-3 business days. We're based in North Carolina, so East Coast orders tend to arrive a little faster. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.
Will the jewelry fade or tarnish?
Our jewelry is made from a variety of materials, including sterling silver. Sterling silver will eventually tarnish, but you can slow that process by storing it in a small airtight bag or container, or in a special anti-tarnish bag. If it’s lost some shine, it can be gently washed with a soft cloth, warm water, and a drop of mild soap, such as blue Dawn. If you still see tarnish, use an anti-tarnish cloth. Do not use commercial jewelry cleaners unless they are specifically labeled safe for sterling silver. The best way to keep your sterling silver shiny is to wear it often! The more you wear it, the less tarnish you’ll see. And never wear sterling silver in the swimming pool or hot tub! Chlorine will cause it to tarnish almost instantly.
Most other metals don’t exactly tarnish, but they can get a little dull if they’re not worn. Washing with a tiny amount of mild soap is the best way to bring them back to life again. You can prevent this by putting on your jewelry last, after you apply hairspray or perfume, and don’t wear them in the shower or bath.
Genuine pearls do require extra gentle care. Don’t ever use commercial jewelry cleaners on them; you will almost certainly damage the nacre and destroy their unique sheen and iridescence. Be very careful about hairspray, cosmetics, and perfume, and absolutely never put them in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner!
Can I return or exchange?
Yes. You have 30 days from receipt to return or exchange anything that isn't marked Final Sale. Items need to be in new condition. Exchanges ship free, with no minimum order required. Returns are refunded minus a $5 shipping fee (once per shipment, not per item). We don’t ever charge restocking fees.
Is your jewelry hypoallergenic?
Most of our pieces are hypoallergenic, but not all. You can filter to only show hypoallergenic pieces when browsing, and you will also see an icon on all pieces certified hypoallergenic and nickel-free by their makers.
Can I track my order?
Yes — as soon as your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number by email so you can follow it the whole way to your door.
What makes your jewelry different?
Honestly? Most of it comes down to Amanda. Every maker on this site has been personally researched and verified — she checks that pieces are genuinely handmade, by the person who claims to have made them, using the materials listed. These are small-batch pieces in sterling silver, gold-filled, and genuine gemstones, mostly made in the USA. They aren’t factory pieces, aren’t from resellers, and are not the same thing you'd find on a hundred other sites. When something sells out here, it often stays sold out.
