Description

Throughout history the sun has been seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, linking humanity to the universe. Its reliable cycle of light and darkness provides a sense of order and continuity, shaping not only practical aspects of life but also reflections on the meaning, value and purpose of human existence. The sun’s role in ancient cultures and myths extends far beyond its physical presence in the sky. As a symbol of power, a focus of rituals, and a source of inspiration, it held a central place in the human imagination.

These stunning earrings pay homage to the sun.
Entirely handmade from sustainably sourced, recycled sterling silver and set with a sparkly orange sunstone at their centre.
Sunstone is a glittering gemstone which symbolises joy, vitality, personal power, and abundance. The stone has a long history of spiritual, cultural, and metaphysical significance. The Ancient Greeks associated sunstone with sun gods like Helios and Apollo, believing it bestowed protection, vitality, and prosperity. In Norse Culture it was believed to help Viking navigators locate the sun on cloudy days, and Indigenous Americans used the stone in rituals and considered it sacred bestowing courage and protective qualities.
Today, Sunstone is seen as a talisman for attracting wealth, success, and overall abundance, amplifying intention and manifestation.
Each stone setting has been given an undulating sunray edge and the hand engraved, oxidised details contrast strongly with the highly polished areas.
Each sun hangs from attached handmade sterling silver hooks with safety catches on the backs, and are a comfortable weight to wear all day.

The silver has been oxidised and highlighted. Oxidisation is a surface treatment that can lighten with wear. I give all oxidised areas a coat of sealing lacquer and then microcrystalline wax to help protect the oxidised surface.
