These Goddess EarWings, made and designed (and patented) by Philip Thornton www.philipthornton.co.nztell a whole story.
The 3 ovals are a Celtic symbol for the goddess, or the three ages of Woman. (Maiden, Mother, Grandmother) Encircled as these are in a complete circle, indicates the completeness of life. Also of course, the moon. The Ear Ring is Hand made in Sterling Silver, Silver being the metal of the Goddess.

The EarWing style is designed to sit up the ear rather than dangle down, as shown on the picture.

Each will make statements to the wearer and about the wearer, just as all jewellery should.

Contemporary Jewellery is both an accessory and an art form. Your Jewellery, like your shoes, can be worn and admired for the design and effective use of materials for many years.

The Fish

Life is too short to wear Jewellery that does not tell the world who or what you are!

These fish speak to me of abundance and of Joy.
What would such a pair of earrings say to you?
