Sterling Silver Zodiac Stud Earrings Taurus

These are a pair of handmade .925 sterling silver zodiac stud earrings featuring the zodiac Taurus. The masters for the zodiac series I make dates from the 1940's/50's. I obtained the brass masters from a retired jeweller here in town, and made molds to reproduce them for a younger audience.

The zodiac is an area of the sky that extends approximately 8° north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year. The paths of the Moon and visible planets are also within the belt of the zodiac. In Western astrology, and formerly astronomy, the zodiac is divided into twelve signs, each occupying 30° of celestial longitude and roughly corresponding to the constellations Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
