A little more detail…

Handcrafted tree earrings – handmade and recycled sterling silver shilling coins.

A new lovely little pair of recycled silver coin tree ‘stud’ type earrings. They have carefully created these using only sterling silver shillings circa 1850’s – 1910.  The tree of life is a symbol and term of the people through hundreds of generations, representing life on earth and and our soul connection to the physical experience.  It is this feeling I am trying to connect with and represent with these unique stud earrings.  They come complete with an ‘off-cut’ which demonstrate fabulously the green, ethical and interesting origins of the earrings.

They are presented on sterling silver ear posts. Handcrafted and recycled in Cambridge, UK. Sizes : Approx 16 mm * 14 mm

Trees, with their long lifespans, deep roots, and towering branches, are a rich source of inspiration. Their immense presence makes you ponder life, death, rebirth, wisdom, resilience, connection, and spirituality. Trees embody the power of life and growth, starting as small seeds and evolving into magnificent beings, mirroring human development and the passage of time.

The seasonal cycles of dormancy and regrowth, particularly evident in deciduous trees, make them potent symbols of rebirth, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life, death, and resurrection.Many cultures associate trees, especially those bearing fruit, with fertility and abundance.

Trees, enduring through countless seasons and harsh weather, represent strength, resilience, and the ability to withstand and overcome challenges, serving as wonderful symbols of hope and perseverance. The remarkable lifespan of trees bring to mind enduring life and legacy. They can be seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, connecting humans to ancestors, God, and a deeper sense of spirituality.

The intricate root systems and expansive branches make us feel the inherent interconnectedness of all life on Earth, highlighting the interdependence of nature, animals, and humanity. Trees are frequently used to represent family lineage, with roots representing ancestors and branches signifying generations, emphasizing heritage and continuity.
