The north star wax seal earrings... an ornate 16 pointed star, symbolic of the North Star, which historically has been used as an aid to navigation, since it seemingly never moves.
These little earrings are made by hand stamping the north star wax seal into fine silver, then oxidizing and polishing each little charm to highlight the details and attaching them to sterling silver ear wires. The earrings are small, measuring just over 1/4". Hand stamped in Newport, Rhode Island.
