Description

 

  • The Southern Cross Earrings represent the iconic Southern Cross stars, an important navigational tool almost always visible anywhere in Australia.
  • Simply elegant, lightweight, and contemporary, these earrings will be the stars of any modern style.
  • Because of its orientation in the night sky, the Southern Cross has historically served as an essential navigational guide: two of its major stars form a line that points to the South Pole.
  • The Southern Cross Earrings are a contemporary take on an ancient Australian story: Indigenous peoples have navigated the outback with stars and rock formations for thousands of years.
  • Due to Australia’s sheer size, there are many parts of the country where the southern sky can be viewed without obstruction or pollution. Around Uluru, we can see celestial features like the Southern Cross, the Seven Sisters (Pleiades), and the Milky Way with incredible clarity.
  • We are an Australian business passionate about preserving our unique environment. We donate 5% of sales to Australian environmental causes, and the OUTBACK Collections Southern Cross Earrings proudly supports Bush Heritage Australia.
  • The Outback collection is inspired by a road trip along an old stock route, the Gibb River Track, WA. The vast, ever-changing landscape was spectacular at every turn, so much so that Vickie is working on a series of landscapes to accompany this wearable art series.
