I chose to review the Sterling silver half hoop earrings, 'Moon in the Forest' from Thailand.

The intricate work of the design is amazing and the sterling sliver makes them strong, but light and durable. 
They are a very versatile type of earring. You can wear from day to night. I gave them to my mom because she adored them so much! She wears them with pretty much everything. The earrings came in a beautiful handmade mulberry paper box. With a picture and a note thanking me for my purchase in Thai and also English. Now how neat is that?!
