Sun Jewelry

The History of Sun Jewelry

With sun jewelry, you too can make yourself the center of attention with its radiance and beauty. In ancient times, the sun was always seen as a powerful symbol. The source of light and warmth has made sun jewelry wearers believe that the motif brings you strength, energy, and power within oneself.

In planetology, the sun is said to represent authority and leadership. Sun motifs have been popular since the 19th century during the Art Nouveau period and again during the 20th century. People would often don sun pendants—made of gold—as well as sun compasses and discs. As we go into modern times, sun jewelry continues to be a favorite amongst many as astrology continues to gain more and more popularity. Indeed, sun rings, necklaces, and other sun‑inspired jewelry pieces owe their allure to the power associated with the sun.

Sun Jewelry in Fashion

Popular sun jewelry is made of gold and stunning gemstones, like an elegant golden sun necklace or a pair of diamond sun and moon earrings. But whatever the style or design, donning any piece of sun jewelry is sure to complete your look. For example, decorate your hand with a sun ring or complete your casual look with a sun necklace. Or, if you're looking for a subtler way to wear celestial jewelry, you can opt for a pair of sun earrings or a sun pendant.

Caring and Storing for Sun Jewelry

Sun jewelry is commonly plated with gold or furnished in 14K gold. So the best way to care for it is to store it away from liquids. Keep the sun brighter than before by often cleaning it with a lightweight cloth.
