In the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Cross is frequently used for navigation. Southern nations such as Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Brazil use it as a national symbol. Mark Twain once said of the Southern Cross, "It is ingeniously named, for it looks just as a cross would look if it looked like something else."
The Southern Cross Earrings are giclee printed and electro-plated with a non-tarnishing silver finish were inspired by the stars of the Southern Cross. The earrings are designed and made in the USA by David Howell using solid brass and hypo-allergenic ear wires.
