“Cattails” Stick Earrings / Solid Sterling Silver / Genuine Baltic Amber / Hammer Forged Dangle Earrings

Description

Thin, hammer formed vertical bar earrings with subtle rustic texture, featuring genuine raw baltic amber. Mounted on solid sterling silver earring hooks.

These remind me of “cattails” plants that I loved staring at as a kid. My grandmother had dried ones in her home and I thought it was a fun shape for a plant. Turns out, it’s a fun shape for an earring too. Cattails represent peace, prosperity and abundance, as well as resilience and adaptability, in balance with their environment.

These earrings are one of a kind, you will receive the exact pair shown here.

ABOUT AMBER

Amber is an organic gem which forms from the hardened, fossilized sap or resin of coniferous trees. It often contains bubbles and inclusions from air pockets and small plant or animal fragments becoming encapsulated in the sap prior to fossilization. Genuine Amber is more than a million years old and has been prized for centuries as a gemstone as well as sought after as an ingredient for perfumes and a healing agent in folk remedies. Its transparency and color varies, however the most common colors are orange, yellow and brown.

Amber is known as the “Soul Of The Tiger” stone, said to radiate both calming and energizing energies, helping to bring peace of mind and clarity, as well as dissolving oppositions and negative feelings. Also said to aid in letting go of the past and self imposed obstacles, it is believed to offer protection and optimism in taking new directions.
