Lashmoon Earrings

Lashmoon earrings draw their form from the lantern — one of the most perfected objects in Persian art and architecture. In the pagodas, temples and palaces of the Persian world, the lantern was not merely a source of light.

It was a work of art in its own right: a geometric structure that transformed light into pattern, that divided a single flame into a hundred reflections through latticed metal and colored glass. As a result, the lantern became one of the defining forms of Asian visual culture.

Furthermore, the cylinder and the dome are the lantern’s essential elements — the long body that holds the light and the curved crown that completes the form, together making a shape that has been refined across centuries in Persia and across Asia.

The Lashmoon earrings translate that form into 18k gold: a cylinder capped with a dome accent, the lantern reduced to its essential silhouette and made to hang from the ear.

The Design of the Lashmoon Earrings

The Lashmoon earrings translate the lantern into a wearable form in 18k gold. Each piece is a cylinder that descends from the ear, its clean vertical form capped by a dome that curves over the top. As a result, the earring reads as a complete, self-contained shape — architectural and composed, with the same resolved quality as a lantern hung in a great hall.

The surface of the cylinder may carry geometric detail or remain smooth, but in either case the form does the work: the proportion of cylinder to dome is the whole statement.

Therefore, the Lashmoon earrings are earrings that hold their elegance through structure rather than decoration.

Light and Geometry

The cylinder and dome form is the soul of this design. Specifically, the vertical line of the cylinder and the curved completion of the dome create a visual balance that is immediately satisfying, the way the great lanterns of Persian architecture are immediately satisfying.

Worn as drops, the Lashmoon earrings hang with a composed vertical authority against the neck. Furthermore, the curved dome catches the light at its crown while the cylinder below holds shadow, so the earrings carry their own internal contrast of light and dark. In this way, they carry the quality of the lanterns they honor: the transformation of a simple container into something that holds light beautifully.

Lashmoon Earrings in 18k Gold

In rose gold the cylinder and dome glow with warmth, the lantern form reading rich and intimate like a light seen through warm air. In white gold the Lashmoon earrings turn cool and luminous, the dome crown catching light with the precision of polished metal in a clear interior.

In yellow gold they radiate with full golden intensity — the most direct echo of the gilded lanterns that hung in the great courts and mosques, their gold reading as both light source and ornament. Whichever metal you choose, the lantern holds its form.

Craftsmanship and 3D Precision

Each Lashmoon earring was developed in 3D modeling software and brought to life through precision 3D printing and meticulous hand-finishing. The cylinder and dome form demands digital modeling: the proportion between the two elements must be exact so the form reads as resolved, the cylinder must hang true so the earring sits vertically when worn, and the two earrings of a pair must mirror each other exactly.

Hand-finishing then polishes every surface to a high shine. This is the precision that only the Friszman MD process can deliver reliably.

A Made-to-Order Piece

Like every Friszman MD creation, the Lashmoon earrings are made to order and hand-finished in 18k gold.
