The Story
No one knows quite what to make of the labyrinth, and that's part of the appeal. How can this geometric shape etched into the earth to form a path that has no real destination entrance people? We created these earrings so you can contemplate the question often.

How to Wear
There may be no right or wrong way to walk the labyrinth, but there is a right way to hook on these earrings, and that's now! The book, “Chartres Labyrinth: Construction Manual,” available on Amazon, instructs on how to re-create this wonder for yourself.

Curiosities
Beware—not all circuitous paths are labyrinths. Mazes, for example, are completely different; they may have one correct path, but are designed to trick someone into hitting a dead end or getting lost. If you associate the word “labyrinth” with the Minotaur of Daedalus or David Bowie’s Goblin King, you’ve been mislead. Unlike those pop culture mazes, real labyrinths only have one route and contain no wrong turns. They aren’t puzzles; they are meditations.
