925 Sterling Silver Onyx Double Happiness Dangle Earrings - Elegant Chinese-Inspired Jewelry for Weddings, Parties & Special Occasions

Product Description

A polished Onyx stone cut in a donut shape surrounds a Sterling Silver casting of the Chinese symbol for "Double Happiness." The "Double Happiness" ligature is a traditional symbol of love in China, Vietnam, Korea and other parts of Asia. It comes from an old story of a student who, with the help of the woman he loved, was able to impress the emperor during a test and secured a high place in the emperor's court. The newly appointed minister hurried back to the village to meet his love and the couple soon married. At the wedding, they placed two characters of "happiness" next to each other and decorated the wall with it to express their happiness. Since then, "Double Happiness" has become a customary in love and weddings. The shepherds hooks on top allow the earrings to hang easily from your ears. The earrings are 20mm wide and 39mm high (from the top of the hook).
