Description
The Australian Jewellery Seven Sisters Silver Story Earrings tells the ancient Australian song-line which begins:
- At sunset, the night’s first star, Venus, aka the Seven Sisters’ father’, is seen leaping into the sky, represented as a solitary sphere.
- He is followed by his six daughters, who cluster together to form the constellation of Pleiades. Finally, the Seventh Sister, always separated, is followed into the night by the morning star (also known as Venus) just before sunrise.
- Available with Button post or classic French hook- email your request
