Unusual one of a kind earrings inspired by the cow jumped over the moon part of the nursery rhyme hey diddle diddle, you can read Hey diddle diddle below. I created the earrings using sterling silver wire, I crocheting the moon around a frame and then added two howlite stars to dangle on each earring. The little cows are tiny 3D sculptures that can be viewed from every angle, they were made using coloured copper wire and I added tiny fresh water pearls for their horns and tiny black onyx beads for their hooves. The cows twirl around and hover over the moon and they really do appear to be in mid air jumping over the moon. The moon and cow sculptures hang from sterling silver earring hooks, the earrings measure approximately 6cm (2.4 in) long including the hooks, 3.5cm (1.4 in) wide, the little jumping cows are just 2cm (0.8 in) long and 1.5cm (0.6 in) tall.

Nursery rhyme
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
