Sun Tears... What is in a name? Amber has a long and storied history. The sister trees are found in Ovid's Metamorphoses, where they weep for their brother Phaeton, lost in a quest for recognition by the Sun. And of course they weep Amber, the Tears of the Sun. Dangling 2 ½ inch, these honey amber earrings could easily be tears elegantly suspended from the earlobe with .925 pure sterling silver. What delightful legendry to accompany such lovely earrings and matching necklace.
