An ophidian portent of sudden doom. In Greek myth Eurydice was the wife of musician Orpheus, he played joyful songs whilst his bride danced. But alas, lustful Aristaeus, son of Apollo saw and pursued Eurydice, who stepped on a viper, was bitten, and died thereafter. Heartbroken, Orpheus journeyed to the Underworld to retrieve her, charming Hades and Persephone with his music and was allowed to regain his lost love, on the condition he wouldn't look back at her until they reached the upper world. Tragically, as they neared the threshold, Orpheus glanced back, and Eurydice vanished forever.The snake dangler earrings echo that moment of tragic beauty and danger. Each polished serpent head sways with hypnotic movement, catching the light as the Austrian crystal Siam red eyes glow with forbidden intensity.
