Kislap Stud Earrings in Scarlet

These tiny parols are for the more minimalist amongst us. But don't let size fool you – these parol studs are still quite eye-catching with their edgy shape and jewel-tone accents set against a brilliant gold background. Like their name suggests, they absolutely sparkle!

Every Christmas, homes and buildings all over the country are adorned with parols, star-shaped lanterns which represent the Star of Bethlehem that guided the three kings to find the baby Jesus.

The word parol comes from the Spanish farol, which means 'lantern'. During the Spanish colonial period, the lanterns were used to light the way of the nine-day Christmas novena procession. At the time, the parol was a simple rectangular or oblong shape. It wasn't until the American colonial period that it acquired its iconic five-pointed star shape, which inspired this collection.
