The acorn

From an acorn..

acorn jewellery – handmade and recycled in Cambridge

“Collect the golden bronze acorns, memories of your life and add them to your tree; These beautifully simple acorns not only look fab on and necklace and bracelet but will also give a lovely autumn feel to your bronze tree sculpture. The also perfectly represent the birth of something new in your life or of new family members, keep the dearness of your loved ones close, watch your tree bloom.”

If you are lucky enough to have the tree sculpture, find your family tree in its physical form, made eternal yet ever changing. Add an acorn, a symbol of a new family member, and watch your tree grow with your family.

You don’t need the tree sculpture to enjoy these acorns, wear them as beautiful nature loving single pendant on a necklace, as part of a larger 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 bronze acorn 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.

    Lovely idea

    Such a lovely idea to add an acorn for new family members 🙂 From a tiny acorn grows a mighty OAK!

  3. Penny-Sue Wolfe

    Autumnal

    Autumn is my favourite season, the colours of the leaves, crisp mornings, the freshness of the air, bonfires, Halloween and bonfire night! This acorn charm optimises that sense of autumn and all it entails. Incredible workmanship, a heirloom piece x

    I just love this, my grandparents had an oak tree in their garden and this would be a fab reminder of our childhood.

  8. Jade Cracknell

    Beautiful

    Really depicts the autumn scene the acorn and oak leaves….the squirrel I’m sure is part of a different project! The use of bronze really reflects the autumn colours also. As with all your pieces I love love love it!!

    Food for our soul

    Nature is my passion…I love watching the squirrels eat on a platform made for one of my large oak trees. My dogs are even eating acorns now! Your work reminds me of everything that I love!

  20. Sarah

    Very seasonal

    Lovely dainty detail, I love the oak pendants.

  21. Liza

    High on my wish list!

    Because the bronze is such a perfect fall color, I do believe I will start a fall leaf collection with this gorgeous acorn, then add a variety of leaves!

  22. Liza

    Great gift idea!

    On my list for gifts for family! Would add the leaves in all the colors to this one too!

    Beautiful, intricate work

  28. Dr Lollipop

    just love!

    i think all the reviews sum this up, simple, elegant, with so many personal meanings, just love!

  29. Angela Mac

    Stunning Collection

    Once again the hairygrowler has created a stunning seasonal collection, The Tree of Life, that reflects nature in all it’s glory. This acorn is breathtaking in it’s simplicity and gives you the ability to build a deeply personal piece of jewellery alongside other pieces from the collection.

  30. Donéta Moore

    Elegance in simplicity

    I love the simplicity of this piece. I am a huge fan of Trees and anything related to them such as the leaf, branch, and the acorn in this one.

  31. Sarah Burton

    Simply Stunning

    I shall be saving my pennies. What precision & detail. A fabulous idea for building something unique to yourself. Just like a tree in nature.

  32. P.l.

    my favorite of all

    So many of these designs speak to me, but none more strongly than the acorn. I lived for years where the beautiful oak tree was plentiful and there were always acorns afoot. I moved to the high elevation, above the oaks. I miss them I must have one of these!

  33. Dr Dolly Moonshine

    Starting point

    A very good starting point. From little acorns grow mighty oaks – what more could we want for tree of life. With a little careful nurturing of course. The contents of this website sets me dreaming – and hoping!

  34. Jonesy4

    Gorgeous and so affordable

    What a super idea, think I will start building a charm necklace. So much lighter and delicate than my beads that are 5x the price.

  35. HRH HALES

    Excited

    Anyone who can create such intricate pieces time after time has to be a GURU of the trade
    Im sure every piece is made with love , and respect for the material Hairy works with, I can sew I can ride a horse I can cook like a dmon and I’m a fantastic Mummy, if I ha time I’d love to watch HG at work would be a real pleasure

  36. Clare adams

    Awesome!

    I love this little acorn, I’d wear it with pride. My dog likes squirrels, so I like to think with this little acorn I’d be a squirrely person and my dog would be super impressed 😉

  37. Stacey Marie

    Beautiful

    Since I didn’t leave my FB name on my first review I figured I would leave another one, and the work deserves another one anyway! I have childhood memories that acorns are a part of and this would make a beautiful memory piece for me, Such detail and energy are put into your work. Just love them!xvj57

  38. caroline robson

    This little acorn doesn’t need to grow into somthing great, it all ready is! Beautiful.

  39. elfie

    Magical

    I adore your work. First came across it at Glastonbury 2010…the year i turned 40 and celebrated by buying a very unique prototype hare ring…I know own 4 of your pieces, all customised and they are admired whenever i wear them. You are truly an artist and manage to be unique, humorous, magical and WOW all in one. In short…you rock ma friend! Long may you continue 🙂 x

    As always just beautiful and perfect for this time of year. X

  42. greeneyedleo

    An heirloom in the making

    I absolutely love the Tree of Life collection . So deceptively simple, but so thought-provoking and deeply symbolic on so many levels. As with all your creations, the design & craftsmanship are stunning, but the soul of the piece gives it a life of its own. Clever Growler 🙂

  43. Alaine

    Goregous!

    Gorgeous! So hard to pick, love the leaves, but I love the acorn the best! Love your work!

  44. Karenda

    Beautiful

    I love the amazing detail in all your work, I especially like mini things with big detail “)

  46. Janae Johnson

    Seeds of life…

    During the Norman Conquest, the English carried dried acorns to protect themselves from the brutalities of the day. Considered to be an emblem of luck, prosperity, youthfulness and power, the Acorn is a good luck symbol indeed! It also represents spiritual growth.<3 How lovely to wear as a symbol of protection and luck. 🙂

  47. Donna Rose

    Beautiful acorn

    what a gorgeous necklace, really delicate and a beautiful design and would go with anything! I’m lucky enough to own a Hairy Growler necklace which I was given for my birthday by some amazing friends, it’s simply stunning and this is no exception!

  51. Jax

    a very special treasure

    I absolutely love my beautiful acorns, they are so dainty and pretty and perfectly symbolise my two sons with their initials inscribed on the back of each. I cannot imagine not wearing them now, definitely not my last Hairy Growler purchase!

  60. Liz

    This was a xmas gift to myself, I have looked for a oak leaf & acorn necklace for a while & I love it. The detail is perfect.

  61. Irene

    Wonderful

    The acorn and oak leaves are as beautiful as they look, and well worth their low price.

  63. Louise

    From Little Acorns….

    A beautiful acorn, sweet in its simplicity, strong is its symbolism. Perfect!

  64. Elin

    Exactly what I was hoping for

    I love this little acorn – I bought it with the big leaf and little silver oak leaf and love all the different combinations I can now put them together in. They will go with almost everything I wear I think!

    Unusual and unique

  68. DONNA

    Exquisite

    I purchased the acorn necklace to complement the oak leaf my friend had bought me from you.

  69. jayne

    Birthday present

    I ordered an acorn for my niece’s 21st to go with the oak leaf I got her for her 18th . It came beautifully engraved on the back with 21 & a small heart she was delighted with it and so was I .
    Thank you Les another beautiful piece to add to the collection

  70. Josette (verified owner)

    Adorable!

    Great to wear simple and alone or with my other smaller pieces.

  71. Gillian (verified owner)

    5 star

    An absolutely lovely, hand crafted necklace. Very pleased.
    Thank you Les

  72. Gillian (verified owner)

    High Quality

    Unique, high quality handcrafted piece

  73. Ellen

    A beautiful and meaningful piece.

    This is a lovely little charm, with a nice sense of chunkiness to it (much like the acorn itself). I particularly like the traces of its former life as a coin, on the back of the charm. Along with the oak leaf (which I bought a few years ago) this acorn is a meaningful symbol for me of the work I produce in my own life.

  74. Harriet Pickering-Jones (verified owner)

    Bought the silver acorn as a charm for the collection of memories bracelet, it is a beautiful tiny work of art and I cannot wait to start wearing it!

  75. GJR5A97y&PSU

    I was given the acorn as a Christmas gift in 2018. I like the fact that it has been handcrafted and you can see the care and attention to detail.

  76. Rowan Taliesin (verified owner)

    Beautiful acorn pendant, the bronze buffs up to look like old gold . Have bought as a present, would love it myself!

  77. Deanna Nicholson (verified owner)

    So beautiful and such detail – a precious keepsake. Looks wonderful on my daughter’s bracelet and is so tactile. We really appreciate the personalisation to remember her very special cat.
