Oak ~Dair
Language of Flowers & Symbolism: Bravery, strength, growth & patience
Few trees pull on our hearts and souls quite as much as the Oak, the backbone of the old Irish rainforests sadly almost extinct today. In old Ireland the Oak was the most sacred tree of the Druids, of the pagan God Dagda and classified as one of the seven Nobles of the Wood in old Brehon law. It is considered a magical tree with ties to the otherworld and an important element of May eve celebrations when it was used to light the Beltaine fires. Acorns were also worn as a protective charm against lightening.
These gorgeous hoop earrings were hand-formed with casts of a real Oak tree branch, gathered from my garden here in West Cork one Spring and immortalised to last a lifetime. The earrings are worn as a stud which is set with the deepest purple rosecut Amethysts.
