Splendor Solis sun earrings

Radiant sun, from ‘Splendor Solis’, a German alchemical treatise from 1582. Held by the British Library, London.

The earring pendant trays measure 12mm diameter and 3.5mm deep, and are made from silver-plated brass. The glass cabochons are 10mm across and 6mm in depth, deeper than standard cabochons, creating an interesting and lively magnifying effect. 

All earrings have sterling silver hooks and come in a sturdy black card gift box.
