Essenza – Moon Earrings That Let Your Inner Glow Shine

When you step into the Essenza universe, you immediately feel the delicate balance between Scandinavian purity and Southern passion. The collection is born from Sif Jakobs’ vision of making premium jewellery accessible to all women, without compromising on craftsmanship or materials. Here you’ll find signature pieces like moon earrings that mirror the gentle curve of the night, combined with sparkling zircons that capture the light like a star-filled sky. Every design is meticulously considered down to the smallest curve, ensuring the jewellery feels light against the skin and fits naturally into the rhythm of everyday life.

In the creative process, the design team works with simple, graphic silhouettes. The Roccia ring draws inspiration from the rugged rock faces of Tuscany, while the soft curves of Gocciolina emulate the round elegance of dewdrops. Even when the collection plays with motifs like the moon and the butterfly, the lines remain clean and structured; decorative yet never overdone. This is the essence of Nordic lightness – interpreted through Italian sensuality.

Moon Earrings as a Signature – From Ancient Myths to Modern Jewellery

Throughout time, the moon has symbolized femininity, cycles, and intuition. In Essenza, the crescent-shaped stud earring is conceived as a daily symbol of strength—a reminder that our own light may wax and wane, but never disappears. These moon earrings are cast in 925 sterling silver and are also available as polished rhodium-plated silver moon earrings or as gold-plated versions, where 18-carat gold creates a warm aura around the face.

The design is subtle enough for the office, yet has enough edge to be worn for festive occasions. The combination of the pure half-circle and the precisely set zircons offers a subtle sparkle that accentuates the shine of the eyes. The inspiration comes from both the tranquil curve of the night sky and the soft dome shape of the Florence Cathedral. The result is a pair of sun and moon earrings reflecting life’s dual nature: the serene and the radiant.

When Quality and Sustainability Go Hand in Hand

At Sif Jakobs, each Essenza piece is crafted from certified 925 sterling silver—a robust yet fine metal that can be polished to a high shine or plated with 18-carat gold for a beautiful and durable finish. All stones are hand-set cubic zirconia, chosen for their crystal-clear brilliance and ethically responsible origins. The collection also comes in FSC-certified packaging, so you can wear your moon earrings with a clear conscience.

The silver is cleaned in ultrasonic baths, then placed in microscope-guided clamps that hold the facets of the stones in place while the goldsmith sets each individual zircon. Afterwards, the jewellery undergoes a four-stage polishing process: first with coarse paste, then medium-fine, fine, and finally diamond paste for a mirror-like finish. This meticulous process seals the metal and ensures that your star earrings and butterfly gold necklace retain their shine year after year.

The jewellery is tested in small test benches where it is exposed to sweat simulant, perfume, and UV light to guarantee colour fastness. Only the models that achieve top scores in durability proceed to the collection. This means that your Essenza favourites are made for a life in motion—from morning meetings to midnight dance floors under starry skies.
