The Story
When in good form, you are like a beam of sun. People flock to you for a giant dose of optimism. The sunflower earrings studs are modeled after the esteemed Helianthus and reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflower series and his happy times
For her rendition, jewelry designer Janet Mavec gave these wonderfully optimistic flowers of the sun a fittingly whimsical personality.
When wearing this delightful set, you'll notice that the gold-plated pendants dance with each step, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight.
