The Rose of Sharon or Mu-gung-hwa (무궁화
- pronounced: moo-goong-hwa) is the
Korean national flower and has been treasured by the Korean people since
the Silla Dynasty which was unofficially called Mu-gung-hwa Country.
Koreans honor the Mu-gung-hwa because it has the strength to survive even
when cut or transplanted and so represents the strength and resilience of
the Korean people. These earrings are carved from
green agate and have
cascading 'stems' of peridot,
garnet, green
onyx and amethyst and sterling silver posts. Style E011
