Europa Orbit Earrings, Silver

These gorgeous earrings artistically capture a celestial body in orbit – like our moon around the Earth, which itself orbits the sun – and would make a perfect eclipse gift or keepsake.

EUROPA is one of Jupiter’s 79 moons and known as 1 of the 4 Galilean moons. In Greek Mythology, EUROPA was originally a Cretan moon goddess who was tricked by Zeus when he transformed himself into a majestic white bull. EUROPA, like our own moon with the Earth, is tidally locked in orbit with Jupiter as they travel together around the sun. With an icy moon exterior, she is said to have a salty sea beneath her surface.
