Mooncake Earrings – Taro (Lavender Marble)

Description

Mid-Autumn Festival Collection

September 2021

Celebrate the moon festival for Mid-Autumn with a festive lunar collection inspired by mooncakes and Chinese mythology.

The giving and sharing of mooncakes with friends and family is a tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sharing a mooncake represents wholeness and togetherness.

Mooncakes come in many different flavours and often have one or more salted egg yolks inside signifying the full moon.

My mooncakes have a luxurious mirrored egg yolk inside, with luscious swirly marbled filling. Freshly baked in my studio!

Share a mooncake with your ears! Comes as a mirrored pair with half a mooncake for each ear!

Care Instructions

Handle with care
Acrylic and plywood are strong, but not invincible. Please take care not to drop your wearables on hard surfaces and avoid contact with rough surfaces to minimise scratches. Try not to put your pieces in your wallet or purse for storage as this may damage the jewellery findings or acrylic elements.

Avoid rain, makeup, solvents and moisture
To keep your wearables looking magical, don’t get them wet, and take your wearables off before showering or exercising. If wearing makeup or perfume, please apply these before putting on your Celestial Closet wearables. Wooden pieces are gently sanded and raw plywood backings is sealed with a clear satin water-based varnish.

Storage Tips
Keep your wearables out of direct sunlight when not being worn, and avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold (such as inside a hot car) which may damage the adhesive or paint. Store larger pieces such as necklaces and brooches in their original boxes where possible to keep them looking lovely.

Cleaning and Polishing
Your magical wearables can be gently wiped with a clean, dry microfibre polishing cloth to remove dust and light residues. Alcohol wipes can be used on metal earring posts and hoops on the metal parts only to gently remove residues.
Please do not use alcohol wipes on acrylic or wood components as this can cause damage to mirrored and printed acrylic surfaces or damage to painted finishes.
