Story
The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols by Jean Chevalier & Alain Gheerbrant cite a variety of references for the acorn including prosperity and plenty. In the spiritual plane, it connotes the virtues of truth and the power of the spirit.
For millennia, the oak tree and its acorns and leaves have adorned everything from architecture, statues and crests to jewelry and the decorative arts.
These articulated and textured antique dangle earrings are created in 15k yellow gold. Two top oak leaves appear to ripple in the breeze. The patterned caps contrast with the smooth, silky gold nuts below.
Hollow and light for easy wear, they are medium to small in scale and date to circa 1920.
