Sterling Silver Greek Key Meander Open 3/4 Hoop Earrings with Turquoise

These 3/4 sterling silver hoops have the classic and ancient motif of the meander and are adorned with natural Kingman turquoise beads (approximately 6mm across). I created these small sterling silver hoops by hand one at a time, oxidized and polished them to accentuate the intricate design. They are 4mm wide, measure approximately 0.75" in diameter, and come with sterling silver ear nuts.
The Greek Key pattern, named after the Meander River in present-day Turkey, is symbolic of the river’s twisting and winding path. This iconic design dates back to ancient Greece, around 700 BC, and has been a recurring motif in Greek frescoes, pottery, architecture, and textiles.
In ancient Greek culture, the key pattern was not just decorative but held profound symbolic meanings. It was often associated with infinity or the eternal flow of life, and sometimes symbolized unity and the bonds of friendship, love, and devotion. The labyrinthine pattern was also thought to represent the Cretan Labyrinth from Greek mythology, where the Minotaur was imprisoned.
