A little more detail…
Recycled vintage spoon
These fabulous earrings hang beautifully and look lovely. They wonderfully recall memories of playing in country fields making ‘faeries’, the little dandelion seeds flying all over and landing in your eyebrows!
Totally unique, each pair is delicately and lovingly created from the bowl of old, unwanted vintage spoon. If the earrings are to be a present you are welcome to request the actual ‘donor’ spoon which will also be carefully ‘worked upon’ to provide a fab explanation to the ethical and green origins of the earrings. The handle can also be inscribed with a small lovely message, date, etc. Handmade and completely recycled in Cambridge, UK. Complete with the finest sterling silver earwires. Size : Approx 30 mm * 11 mm
Dandelion clocks, the seed heads of dandelions, are richly connected to our childhood and thus the passage of time, and the fleeting nature of life. They symbolize a connection to nature, evoke nostalgia, and can also represent wishes, hope, and new beginnings. Blowing on a dandelion clock to make a wish is a common childhood activity, linking it to innocence, playfulness, and carefree moments.
The transformation from a bright yellow flower to a delicate, airy seed head mirrors the progression of time and the cyclical nature of life. The act of blowing the seeds away can symbolize the passing of moments, years, or even generations. The ease with which the dandelion seeds are scattered by the wind highlights the fragility and transience of life, reminding us to appreciate each moment.
Dandelion clocks are often associated with making wishes, adding a layer of hope and optimism to their character.

My husband got me these earrings for Christmas but forgot where he hid them so I got them for our first anniversary. They are just too precious and I love the look on my niece’s face when I tell her they comes from a spoon.
