A little more detail….
The oak leaf represents the mighty oak tree, embodies strength, endurance, wisdom, and longevity. It can also symbolize stability, hospitality, and virtue, and is frequently associated with concepts of eternity and the Tree of Life.Additionally, oak leaves can represent independence, honor, and protection.
Strength and Endurance:The oak’s longevity and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions make its leaves a powerful symbol of resilience and enduring strength.
Wisdom and Longevity:Oaks are known for their long lifespans, leading to associations with wisdom, experience, and the passage of time.
Hospitality and Virtue: In some contexts, oak leaves are linked to hospitality and the welcoming nature of the oak tree, as well as virtues like honesty and integrity.
Spiritual and Religious Significance:Oak trees hold sacred significance in various cultures and religions, often representing sacredness, protection, and even divinity. For example, the Celtic Druids revered the oak, and it is mentioned in both the Christian Bible and Slavic mythology.
Personal Reflection:In a more personal context, oak leaves can symbolize a need for detailed awareness and a deeper appreciation for nuance in life, encouraging one to look closely at the details and find meaning in the ordinary
A delightful Wee pair of oak leaves
Oak leaves necklace – handcrafted and recycled jewellery
“Collect the leaves and memories of your life and add them to your tree; These beautifully simple oak leaves not only look fab on and necklace and bracelet but will also give a lovely winter feel to your bronze tree sculpture. The also perfectly represent the strong role models and individuals in your life, keep the dearness of your loved ones close, watch your tree bloom.”
Oak leaves. If you are lucky enough to have the tree sculpture, find your family tree in its physical form, made eternal yet ever changing. Add a leaf, a symbol of a family member, and watch your tree grow with your family.
You don’t need the tree sculpture to enjoy these leaves, wear them as beautiful nature loving single pendant on a necklace, as part of a branch of leaves spanning a bigger design you have imagined on a necklace or bracelet, representing your own personal aesthetic or family and friends.
Each leaf and charm is movable, allowing you to customise the jewellery you create and the sculpture you design.
Create show stopping, mystical necklaces with a myriad of leaves, studded with stars, or be beautifully understated with a bracelet, holding a single acorn, a symbol of your own strength, your own ability to blossom and become something magnificent.
Size : 20 mm * 18 mm
*** Other charms in the pictures such as oak leaves, acorns are to illustrate the various looks and combinations. They are available separately within the deep roots collection. ***

So inspirational and personal
Yet another stunning design from Hairy Growler, this would be perfect to form the basis of a tribute tree to my parents, a pair of enthusiastic conservationists living in deepest Sussex surrounded by oak trees. I’m looking forward to starting and developing my collection!

A perfect family tree
Using the different colour pairs of oak leaves to symbolise grandparents and parents, then individual leaves for children and great grandchildren – using different gems to show different generations! I love the possibilities 🙂

Inspired by nature…
I saw these pair of oak leaves and was simply drawn to them. Oak leaves and acorns take me right back to a happy place and were always symbols of something very special as a child. They just seem very magical and yet very simple and one with nature at the same time. The two oak leaves together would be a perfect way to represent a beautiful pure love or friendship. <3
Dee Clee –
Stunning

I am a massive fan of pretty much everything this guy makes. This is a particularly great example of work and I love the idea of being able to add leaves that will enhance the original but also hold personal meaning. Fantastic.

The perfect Christmas present
So this has been on the Hg website for less than an hour, and I’ve already had a message from my sister requesting it for Christmas. Happy Christmas M!! (too soon? there are only 89 days until the Big Day!)
But seriously – won’t this collection make a perfect Christmas present? Starting with a couple of pieces, then adding to it year on year?
I’ve talked myself into it – M, I’d like the double silver oak leaf for Christmas 😉
dottyacorn –
practically perfect in every way
from little acorns, great trees do grow…
What a stunning new selection the HG has created this time!
I have long coveted many of the pieces offered and wish often that one day the birthday or Christmas fairy might deliver the hare and bird ring!!
Now though, I’m torn! I just love the classic simple feel of this new necklace and it’s gone to the top of my list!!!
Acorns have special meaning in our family and the idea of an acorn, 3 leaves and a star fills me with a warm comfort.
Perfection in Jewellery. Well done Hairy Growler.
