"Wonderful sleeping moons!!!"
These earrings are fantastic! Bigger and heavier than I expected they are truly beautiful. The hinge is very well made and sturdy (if you've bought this style earring before you know sometimes the hinges are not very strong. No worries with these!). I'm not taking them out of my ears any time soon!

"Lovely!"
I am just delighted with these half moon earrings. They are so unique and I m surprised to find out that the design is based on 19th century illustrations, which makes them all the more special! Receiving a handwritten card depicting the country of origin is such a special touch. I very much appreciate it!

"Subtle and Elegant"
I love these half-moons! These are beautifully crafted and are the perfect weight. I love how the moon design makes one look twice and then again once more. Barely there yet draws the eye. Muchas gracias, Sr. Sanchez.

"Lovely, Pretty Pendant"
Aztec Dove, pendant necklace came with an 18 inch sterling chain which was very attractive, but too long to show off the pendant to good effect. I replaced the chain with a 16 chain and wear the necklace with the Aztec Dove matching earrings by designer Francis Sanchez. The pendant necklace is lovely, pretty, well made. Happy with purchase.
