Rose Fog Earrings
- Genuine moonstone with that elusive, shifting inner glow.
- Gold-filled and gold-plated metalwork, handcrafted in Brooklyn.
- 1⅛ inch drop — close and luminous, intimate rather than dramatic.
Some mornings the light doesn't arrive all at once. It seeps in — pink and diffuse, caught between the last of the dark and the first pale warmth of day. Everything it touches looks softer. Edges dissolve. The world goes quiet and luminous, like a watercolor before the brush is fully lifted.
Moonstone has been doing this longer than any sunrise. Revered in ancient India as solidified moonlight, traded across the Roman Empire as a stone of prophecy and intuition, it has always carried that quality of light caught mid-transformation — glowing from somewhere just beneath its surface, never quite revealing its source. The phenomenon is called adularescence, named for Mount Adula in the Swiss Alps, and it produces a billowing inner light that shifts as the stone moves, like fog rolling through a rose garden at dawn.
That glow, held in gold.
Each earring pairs a genuine moonstone with gold-filled and gold-plated metalwork, handcrafted in Brooklyn by designer Laura Stark. At 1⅛ inches from the top of the ear wire to the lowest point, they sit close and luminous — intimate rather than dramatic, the kind of piece that catches someone's eye mid-conversation. They weigh 3 grams per earring, light enough to disappear on the ear while the stone keeps catching light. The ear wires are hypoallergenic.
Handcrafted by Laura Stark Designs in Brooklyn, New York.

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.
