It is believed that the ancient Irish people used the single spiral to symbolize the sun, with a clockwise spiral denoting the shrinking winter sun.

The single spiral symbolizes the consciousness of nature starting from the centre and expanding outwardly—the way of all things, according to mystics. It represents life, creation, birth and rebirth, evolution, awareness, and growth or development.

These ancient Ireland inspired earrings have been hand crafted in sterling silver, oxidised to bring out detail, and given a worn edge to transport us back to times long ago.

The earrings are set with 4mm gemstones.
