Orion’s belt is an asterism in the constellation Orion and consists of the 3 bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. The 3 stars mark the northern night sky when the Sun is at its lowest point, a clear marker for ancient timekeeping. The earliest depiction linked to the constellation of Orion is a prehistoric mammoth ivory carving found in a cave in West Germany. Archaeologists estimate that it was fashioned approximately 32,000 to 38,000 years ago. Wrap the stars around your ear in this adjustable ear cuff, no piercing required.
