Two Little Suns on Ear Hooks
Each of these sun earrings holds a small sun face, about 9 x 11 mm, with closed eyes, sculpted in relief and surrounded by rays. They hang from fine ear hooks and swing freely with every move. The suns are made entirely of metal: 925 sterling silver with 92.5 percent pure silver, or 14K gold-filled with a thick layer of real gold. Since there is no stone in them, the earrings are water-resistant and sturdy enough for every day, from the office to the beach.
Material and Craftsmanship
The ear hooks always match the color you choose: 925 sterling silver for the silver suns, 14K gold-filled for the gold ones. The gold on 14K gold-filled is not a paper-thin coating but a thick, firmly bonded layer. It wears off much more slowly than simple gold plating and keeps its color for years. A small coil decorates each ear hook, and below it the sun hangs from a fine jump ring. The ear hooks are delicately curved and easy to put in, and clear earring backs keep them securely in place. The earrings are made in my studio in Oberhausen, where I assemble every pair by hand and check every sun. The sun earrings are always sold as a pair.
The Meaning of the Sun
Traditionally, the sun is seen as the source of life and a sign of warmth and light. Even Sunday carries its name: it goes back to the Roman dies solis, the day of the sun. With sun earrings you carry a little piece of summer through the whole year.
Caring for Your Sun Earrings
The earrings are water-resistant, so you don't need to take them out to shower. Over time, though, shampoo, hairspray and perfume leave a dull film on metal. So put them in once your styling is done, and wipe them clean now and then with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the ear hooks at the same time.
Silver tarnishes over time. This is a natural process, not a defect. A silver polishing cloth brings back the shine; for gold suns a soft cloth is usually enough. Store the earrings as a pair with the backs on, ideally in a small pouch. That way they won't get tangled or lost.
Day of the sun
Sunday is named after the sun and goes back to the Roman dies solis.
Swinging freely
The sun hangs from a fine ring below the ear hook and moves with every turn of your head.
With earring backs
Clear stoppers sit on the hooks so nothing gets lost.
By tradition, the sun is the source of life and a sign of warmth and light. Even Sunday is named after it, as the day of the sun.

Yes, you always get a pair with two clear earring backs. Both suns have the same face with closed eyes and a ring of pointed rays.
Each sun measures about 9 x 11 mm (0.35 x 0.43 in). On the ear hook it hangs subtly below your earlobe, easy to see but light. That makes the earrings just as right for everyday wear as for a summer dress.
Like the suns, the ear hooks are made of 925 sterling silver or 14K gold-filled, matching the color you choose. The sun dangles from a tiny jump ring right below the decorative coil of the hook. Clear earring backs keep the hook secure in your ear.
Yes, the earrings are water-resistant, because there's no stone that could be damaged. After a day at the beach or at an indoor pool, just give them a quick rinse and dry them carefully. That keeps the suns and ear hooks shiny for a long time.
Yes. The same sun comes as a necklace, a bracelet, hoop earrings and a clip-on charm. Together with the sun necklace, it makes a coordinated set that you can wear separately or together.
