These whimsical sun earrings hide a delightful secret - they represent far more than just a smiling face. The sun as a design motif has been extremely important throughout history, indicating the significance of the sun in our lives and, in fact, to life itself. The sun represents knowledge and enlightenment and has been the symbol of life to mankind throughout history. The ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun god Horus. The Greeks and Romans worshipped a sun god who drove his blazing chariot every day across the heavens. Even Sunday, the sacred day of Christianity, is named for the sun.Specifications: Composed of .925 solid sterling silver. Gift packaged with story card and black drawstring bag.
