12mm gold stainless steel buckle with sunflower theme

The Japanese planted them massively following the Fukushima nuclear accident to absorb radioactivity from the soil: thus sunflowers are a symbol of hope and faith in Japan, and they have helped citizens progress towards a better future. . The sunflower is of course a symbol of the sun and often linked to love. In Greek mythology, the nymph Clytia fell madly in love with the sun god Apollo.

These earrings are perfect for those who love hoop jewelry. The pendants measure 12mm and hang from a stainless steel 'hook and eye' hoop which will hold them securely in place.

They have a metallic sunflower flower pattern with a hand painted watercolor background and are very lightweight at less than 3g per earring - they are "glazed" with a curved glass cobochon which has a magnifying effect.
