Gold Taurus • Endless Hoop Charm Earring
In 18k Gold, our Taurus Earring is worn as a symbol of abundance and renewal. The Egyptians considered Taurus to be the sacred bull associated with the renewal of life. When the spring equinox entered Taurus, the constellation would be covered by the Sun in the western sky as spring began. This "sacrifice" led to the renewal of the land.
Identification of the Taurus constellation with the bull dates back to the Upper Paleolithic period. It is believed that Taurus and the Pleiades were depicted in the paintings at the Caves at Lascaux (roughly 15,000 BC). A large and prominent constellation in the northern hemisphere's winter sky, between Aries to the west and Gemini to the east. The constellation’s position welcomes the sun's motion during the vernal equinox and corresponds to the birth of spring.

Designed to mix or match. How will you wear yours?
Always remember to put your jewelry on last when getting dressed. AFTER cosmetics, perfume, hairspray, lotions, or other chemical substances that could be corrosive to the metal or stones. Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cotton cloth before storage.
For sterling silver or 18k gold, a few drops of a mild PH neutral soap with water and a soft cotton cloth. Dry thoroughly before storing. A light sweep with a polishing cloth on the high surfaces while allowing the dark to remain in the crevices will highlight the design's details. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials as they can damage the metal, finish, and stones.
Let your antiqued or oxidized silver weather naturally. Do not clean or polish.
Bead pieces should always be dried flat, never hung.
For deep cleaning or restorations, we recommend sending your pieces to the studio as many of our finishing techniques are proprietary. Each request is handled individually, please contact the studio to discuss.
