In this tutorial, learn how to make gold-plated stainless steel star earrings —a piece of jewelry that’s both trendy and timeless. Inspired by the stars, they combine three classic patterns: the star, the sun, and the moon. These symbols, commonly found in jewelry, evoke light, mystery, and positivity, while adding a touch of elegance to your outfits. Designed to pair with the sun-pendant choker, this set creates a harmonious ensemble.
Each earring consists of three elements made of gold-plated stainless steel, a material prized for its resistance to oxidation and its hypoallergenic properties. The hammered star-shaped stud adds texture and catches the light. Below, a simplified, hollowed-out sun-shaped spacer adds a geometric and balanced touch. Finally, a hammered moon pendant completes the design with a touch of mystery.
The hammered finish on the findings is a major trend this year. It creates a textured, handcrafted effect that pairs perfectly with the radiance of the gold. This finish gives the earrings an authentic and contemporary feel, in line with the minimalist and bohemian styles currently in vogue. Their light and airy design makes them comfortable to wear all day long, whether with a casual outfit or for a special occasion.
These earrings are easy to pair with other gold jewelry, whether it’s a torque necklace, a simple Miyuki bracelet, or a ring. Pair them with the sun-pendant choker to create a coordinated look, perfect for enhancing your winter or summer outfits. This tutorial will guide you in crafting a trendy piece of jewelry while working with high-quality materials. Add a celestial and luminous touch to your style with these star, sun, and moon earrings made of gold-plated stainless steel.
Note that the ribbed rings connecting the sun in the photo are made of gold-plated metal. In the materials list, under the “Product Variations” section, I’ve included a version of the gold-plated stainless steel rings that’s just a tiny bit thicker (1.2 mm wire instead of 1 mm). Both types of rings work. For now, there isn’t a silver version of these findings available on the site, but feel free to ask if you’re interested.

Close the earring rings if they are open. Open two 4 mm rings and place them on the earring rings. Then close them again.
Open four ribbed rings. Connect the suns to the 4 mm rings, using these grooved rings. Then, at the bottom, connect the hammered moon pendants. That's all there is to it!
