925 Sterling Silver CZ Lightning Bolt Stud Earrings
The lightning bolt is the fastest thing in the natural world. A bolt of lightning travels at approximately one-third the speed of light — 100,000 kilometers per second — and reaches temperatures of approximately 30,000 Kelvin, five times hotter than the surface of the sun. The entire discharge lasts less than a second, but in that fraction of a second, the lightning bolt releases more energy than a nuclear power plant produces in a week. This is why the lightning bolt has been the symbol of the most powerful forces in the world since the beginning of human civilization. In ancient Greece and Rome, the lightning bolt was the weapon of Zeus and Jupiter — the king of the gods, the most powerful being in the universe, the deity whose authority over all other gods and all mortals was expressed by his ability to hurl lightning bolts from the sky. In Norse mythology, the lightning bolt was the power of Thor — the god of thunder, the protector of humanity, the deity whose hammer Mjolnir created lightning when it struck. In Hinduism, the vajra — the thunderbolt — is the weapon of Indra, the king of the gods, and the symbol of indestructibility and irresistible force. The lightning bolt is the symbol of electricity, of power, of the energy that moves faster than anything else in the natural world. The CZ lightning bolt stud earring takes this most powerful and most dynamic of all the natural symbols and renders it in 925 sterling silver and white zircon CZ — the sparkling CZ that fills the lightning bolt form with diamond-look brilliance, the fine jewelry piece that wears the symbol of the most powerful force in the natural world on the earlobe. This 925 sterling silver stud earring sets white zircon CZ stones in the lightning bolt design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold, platinum, or rose gold plating, at 1.74g. The earring that wears the weapon of the gods on the earlobe.
