Recycled spoon mermaid earrings

These are completely unique, original and bespoke style earrings. The asymmetrical nature of these earrings is what makes them so beautiful and individual. Each gorgeous silvery mermaid hangs freely, perfectly, different.

One of the mermaids is diving to the ocean floor to gather a magical starfish. She is suspended from her tail fin. The other lady of the sea is admiring a magical star against the glittering background of the ocean surface. Her tail attractively sweeping downwards towards your neckline.  Worn, they look absolutely perfect. Each unusual pair is handcrafted and recycled from an old antique desert spoon. They are presented with the actual remaining ‘donor’ spoon, which provides a wonderful talking point and fab part of their origin story.

Handmade and completely recycled in Cambridge, UK. Complete with the finest sterling silver ear wires. Size : Approx 35 mm * 16 mm

Mermaids, these alluring creatures of myth and folklore, hold rich and complex symbolic meanings in poetry, literature, art and craft often representing a duality of beauty and danger, longing and freedom. Mermaids, existing between the land and the sea, symbolize the constant movement of water and the potential for change and transition within human experience. Their half-human, half-aquatic form reflects the tension between our rational mind and the pull of deeper emotions and desires.

Mermaids are often linked to the divine feminine, embodying beauty, fertility, and the mysterious, unpredictable aspects of womanhood, mirroring the ocean’s depths. They can also represent empowerment, rebellion, and self-discovery, challenging societal norms and inspiring women to pursue their passions and chart their own paths. They are frequently depicted as enchanting yet dangerous, luring sailors with their songs and beauty, which can symbolize the perils of temptation.

Mermaids reflect human fascination with the ocean and its mysteries, and the complex interplay of emotions, desires, and conflicts.
