Gold stainless steel gingko hoop earrings 16 mm

Japanese ginkgo in the Far East is revered as a deity. In the land of the rising sun, people believe that the relic plant concentrates the vital forces of the earth. This tree is a symbol of love and resilience. Ancient Taoist monks planted ginkgo biloba in holy sites near monasteries, believing that its two-lobed, fan-shaped leaves are a sign of wisdom and concentration, endurance and longevity.

Nowadays, earthy colors evoke a return to simple, raw and natural things. Recalling the earth, the plant and the animal, tradition and synonymous with protection for some.

These earrings are perfect for those who love hoop jewelry. The pendants measure 16mm and hang from a stainless steel 'hook and eye' hoop which will hold them securely in place.

They feature a ginkgo leaf with a hand painted watercolor khaki green background and are very lightweight at less than 3g per earring - they are "glazed" with a mineral glass watch face.
