Silver rowan leaf earrings

These earrings are crafted with love in my Dorset studio using recycled sterling silver, each one proudly bearing full British hallmarks.

To create these unique pieces, I draw inspiration from nature, collecting rowan leaves to serve as templates. Each leaf is delicately traced onto a sheet of sterling silver, then hand-sawn out. Since each leaf can only be used once, every piece becomes a singular one of a kind. The back of each piece of jewellery bears a stamp denoting the species of tree from which the leaf originated. Due to their handmade nature, slight variations from the product photos are to be expected.

Rowan or Mountain Ash is one of Britain’s smallest native trees and my personal favourite. It has fragrant white flowers loved by bees and other pollinators, the leaves can turn a stunning orange and red in the Autumn and the bright red berries produced in winter are a favourite of many bird species.

Rowan has along history in Celtic and Druid folklore as a tree of protection against enchantment and were often grown alongside dwellings to protect the inhabitants. The tree itself was considered sacred, and cutting it down was strictly taboo, believed to bring about bad luck and misfortune.

For those seeking a touch of luxury, these earrings are also available in rose and yellow gold vermeil finishes. Complete the look with matching leaf necklace, available in my shop
