The Ariadne Earrings by Temple Of the Sun in 18k gold vermeil are geometric statement earrings inspired by Minoan mythology. Ariadne’s string emerges from the dangle earrings in the form of delicate shepherd’s hooks. The Minoan princess used this string to guide her beloved through the labyrinthine catacombs below the palace of Knossos. A journey of redemption illuminated by baguette cut peridot, providing a metaphoric light at the end of the tunnel.
The Ariadne Earrings offer hope, guiding us through the fathomless corridors of our inner labyrinth.
