Acorn Drop Earrings

Lovely, typically English 15ct gold acorn earrings (circa 1860) set with cornelian stone (a type of agate). Acorns were a very popular motif in the 19th century.

Both the acorn and the “mighty oakandrdquo; are images of universal inspiration. As a small but potent package of unmanifested power, the symbolic stature of the acorn takes reference from the oak treeandrsquo;s hardiness.

As foretold in an age old tradition from the British Isles, just carry an acorn in your pocket or wear a symbol on your person if you wish to stay forever young!
