The shining rays of Amaterasu -- OOAK earrings with vintage beads

Description

In most cultures, the sun was considered male. In the Shinto belief system, however, the sun is a woman, Amaterasu. She's the subject of perhaps one of the most well-known Japanese myths, in which she retreats into a cave, plunging the world into darkness, and the other gods have to lure her out with merriment.

Feel like a little bit of a sun goddess yourself when you wear these earrings. The large vintage lampworked earrings have a strip of foil wrapped around the core, and it practically glows. These vintage beads are so awesome that I decided to keep the accents simple -- little vintage citrine-hued glass saucers flanking the main beads. I only had two of these nifty, chunky beads, so these earrings are even more unique than usual!

"The shining rays of Amaterasu" earrings measure 1" long, not including earwires. All findings are gold-filled. These earrings are a little heavier than usual, so I don't recommend them for anyone with delicate lobes.

Like all Erthe Fae Designs, these earrings are totally unique. They were made with love in a smoke-free studio in beautiful Tucson, Arizona, where we get quite a bit of Amaterasu's attention, it seems.
