The Neptune Collection - Sterling Silver Earrings - Square Greek Key and Opal (22mm)

Sterling silver earrings feature opal gemstones with the traditional Greek Key Motif, also known as the meander or eternity symbol. The Greek Key is inspired by Neptune, the god of water and the sea in Roman Mythology. The earrings dangle from the top opal base. The opal is iridescent meaning the look and reflections change when you view it from different directions.

History
In art and architecture, a meander is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. Such a design is also called the Greek Fret or Greek Key design, although these are modern words. The name "meander" recalls the twisting and turning path of the Meander River. Meanders were among the most important symbols in ancient Greece; they, perhaps, symbolized infinity and unity; many ancient Greek temples incorporated the sign of the meander.
