If you want a stunning pair of earrings with sparkle and movement, consider these Lyra Earrings, and you’ll have a constellation in your ears! These not-shy dangly earrings are almost shoulder-duster length. Each link is handmade, soldered, hammered, twisted, and oxidized. I made a thick-wall tube to set the 4 millimeter cubic zirconium gems into, giving the gems a bold, hammered surround. These stones really catch the light, too, and the neutral colors of metal and stone go with all of your outfits.
Lyra is named after the Lyra Constellation, which appears in the northern sky. The constellation represents the lyre, a beautiful stringed instrument mythically played by Orpheus. The Lyra constellation also contains the star Vega, which is represented here by two pretty, faceted 4 millimeter Cubic Zirconium gems.
These statement earrings hang 3″ from the top of the ear wires to the bottom of the dangle.
