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. This product is a part of our amber jewelry collection.
