Zia Sun Stud Earrings | New Mexico Balance Talisman
Description
The Zia Pueblo sun symbol encodes the sacred number four at four simultaneous scales: the four cardinal directions, the four seasons, the four periods of the day, and the four stages of human life. To wear the Zia is to carry a statement about orientation: that you know which direction you are facing, that you understand yourself as existing within a structure that has four dimensions and a center. As stud earrings, the Zia is worn at the ears: the symbol of orientation placed at the place of attentive receiving.
925 sterling silver. Stud earrings.
Care
Your piece is made to last a lifetime, but it still deserves a little devotion. Keep it dry, store it away from other metals, and wipe it clean after wear. Small rituals like these are what keep a symbol sharp for years to come.
Design
Every piece begins as an idea worth carrying, then it's shaped, cast, and finished by hand until the symbol feels inevitable. This isn't decoration. It's craft made to mean something.
