These Martha Lopez handcrafted Celestial Totumo Seed earrings draw their inspiration from the moon’s glowing luminosity. In the Bogata Highlands of Colombia, however, tribal Indians reminisce about a world without a moon. These Cibchas tribesmen say, “In the earliest times, when the moon was not yet in the heavens…”
Silver 950 posts are threaded with crescent moons in these celestial-inspired earrings. Fashioned from totumo seeds, these crescents are textured in a frond pattern, giving them an effect much like the natural craters of the moon. For a perfectly matched ensemble, select our Celestial Totumo Seed Necklace.

In pre-Columbian South America, the Incas worshipped the mother moon goddess, Mamaquilla. Considering an eclipse to be a perilous time, they performed noisy rituals to scare away any unwanted entities that might consume the divine feminine energy.
To this day, the moon is our guiding light against the evil and terror that lurks in the darkness. Crafted of indigenous Colombian totumo seeds, Incans might have worn crescent moon earrings like these, which are a Blue Gobi exclusive design.

The natural fibers in these earrings’ totumo seeds require special attention. These earrings should be stored in a cool, dry place and should never be immersed in water. Apply all liquid cosmetics prior to wearing and allow them to dry first before putting on these earrings.
Silver 950 should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your silver 950 shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your silver 950 to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
