Honey is a symbol of Oshun, West African goddess of sweetness, purification, fertility and beauty. It is said that Oshun rules over the sweet river waters of the earth (which honey represents). The honeybee is also closely associated with Oshun. Through her divine powers, Goddess Oshun is said to protect women and assist in creativity and joyfulness.
Our Sweet As Honey earrings are inspired by the goddess and her symbols. The yellow and black beads represent joyfulnes, purity, stability and transformation. Their diamond shapes represent feminine power as well as honeypots! They measure 1.25 inches long by 0.5 inches wide. Wearing these earrings is meant to remind you that the essence of Oshun, and her powers of joy, lie within you.
Each set of earrings comes in their own beautiful box. Enjoy!
