Hawthorn ~Sceach Gheal
Other names: Whitethorn, fairy thorn, May blossom, Maybush, Bread and cheese tree, Haw tree
Language of Flowers & Symbolism: Hope (especially in love), new beginnings, rebirth & fertility
In Irish lore, the Hawthorne is the most sacred tree of the fairies and is considered especially magical if found growing solitarily. Any foolish enough to meddle with such a tree could surely expect the faeries wrath to find him. It is also said that wearing a sprig of Hawthorn will soothe a bout of sadness and depression and surely few sights are better for the soul after a long Winter than the first heady blossoms of Hawthorne scenting the hedges with a promise of Summer. Hawthorn is also known as May blossom, the sacred tree of May eve celebrations and was kept on a dresser through the month of May to keep evil at bay and invite good luck into the house.
These earrings feature two little clusters of Hawthorne blossoms, buds and leaves which I painstakingly hand-sculpted in miniature before casting in Sterling silver.
You can find the matching necklace to go with these earrings here.
This piece is entirely hand formed, filed and polished from sheet, wire and stone with time and care in my home studio in West Cork, Ireland.
This is a made to order item, please allow 5-7 business days for dispatch.
