Gordian Knot Earrings

Legend has it Gordius, king of Phrygia, tied an intricate knot known as the Gordian knot. Alexander the Great failed to untie it, so he simply cut it in two with his sword. This bold act gave rise to the phrase "cutting the Gordian knot". These earrings feature a design inspired by the myth of this symbolic knot. Material: pewter with gold finish Made in USA
