Bruegel’s message, drawn from an old Flemish proverb, is quietly devastating: \u003cem\u003eno plough stops for a dying man\u003c\/em\u003e. Life — commerce, nature, the sea — moves on, indifferent to individual tragedy or the hubris of those who fly too close to the sun. The ship you wear on these earrings is that indifference made beautiful: white sails against deep Flemish green, continuing its voyage with perfect, unhurried grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEntirely handmade in our studio in Granada, Spain, from \u003cstrong\u003esustainable wood\u003c\/strong\u003e sourced from FSC-certified suppliers. Please note that while the raw material comes from FSC-certified sources, the finished piece is not itself an FSC-certified product. With 925 sterling silver hooks and a weight of just 6 grams, these earrings are exceptionally lightweight — designed to be worn all day without discomfort. The reverse side is black, revealing the natural grain of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: each earring is approximately 3.5 cm x 4 cm. A perfect museum-inspired gift for those drawn to \u003cstrong\u003eFlemish painting\u003c\/strong\u003e, maritime history, mythology, and objects that start a conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery order arrives in plastic-free, eco-friendly packaging personally designed in our studio, including a brief history of the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obljewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39605110177866,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9516\/3978\/products\/il_fullxfull.2354837696_qc9o.jpg?v=1643194263","url":"https:\/\/obljewellery.com\/en-es\/products\/bruegel-fall-of-icarus-ship-earrings","provider":"obljewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
