The perfect wing earrings. These hang beautifully.
These earrings are inspired by the Greek myth of the Sirens. The term "siren" is used both in ancient and modern mythology, as well as in modern language in general, to describe something that is simultaneously dangerous and compelling. With the original Greek Sirens, mythology depicts these creatures as beautiful women with angelic wings who played their lutes and sang. They were aloof and didn't make eye-contact with humans as they flew about the earth in search of their friend Persephone, which made them seem all the more innocent and mysterious.
Their flight had a mission, though and the granting of their wings allowed them to explore the world freely even after Persephone was found. Once that they took flight, they learned to sing, created a home and ultimately, found their purpose.
