The Cobbled Curios – Onyx Orb – Dangle Earrings

Description

Inspired by the smooth, dark stones found at the bottom of a shaded creek, these earrings are the ultimate anchor for The Cobbled Curios collection. They represent the “shadows in the glen”—the deep, quiet spaces that allow every other color to shine. This is a piece for those who appreciate the beauty of pure, saturated pigment and the elegance of a classic silhouette.

Materials: Each “curio” is crafted using a deep black artisan base, chosen for its ability to absorb light and create a true, midnight-dark finish. Set within a high-shine stainless steel bezel, the black  center is topped with a hand-poured resin dome. This creates a “black mirror” effect, giving the earrings a liquid-like depth that looks like polished obsidian or heavy silk.

The Look: Bold, minimalist, and striking. The contrast between the cool, silver-toned stainless steel and the pitch-black center is sharp and modern. Because there is no glitter or pattern, the focus is entirely on the form and the reflection. These are the “little black dress” of your jewelry collection—effortless, versatile, and perpetually in style.

The Feel: Lightweight with a high-end, polished feel. The smooth resin surface is satisfyingly tactile, and the stainless steel frame provides a sturdy, hypoallergenic home for the design. They offer a grounded, sophisticated look that feels substantial on the ear without any of the weight of traditional stone.

A Note from the Crafter:

“In The Cobbled Curios series, I love playing with light—but sometimes, the most powerful statement is the absence of it. I wanted to create a pair of ‘cobbles’ that felt like pure mystery. By sealing a solid black center under the resin dome, I’ve created a piece that acts like a mirror to the world around it. It’s my favorite ‘everyday’ pair because it’s as bold as it is simple.”

Care Instructions

Your Cobble and Moss earrings are fashioned from stainless steel and resin. To preserve their artisanal quality and intricate detailing, we recommend the following gentle care practices:

• Storage: Kindly store your earrings in a secure place, away from heavy objects that could cause undue pressure or damage.
• Moisture Exposure: To protect the integrity of the resin and the metal findings, we advise against prolonged submersion in water. Please avoid showering, swimming, or sleeping while wearing your jewelry.
• Cleaning: Should your jewelry require cleansing, a light wash with a gentle soap and water solution is suitable. Use a soft cloth to gently pat the pieces dry. Rubbing the cloth over the resin may cause scratches and clouding.
