Fern ~ Raithneach
Planet: Mercury Zodiac: Gemini
Language of Flowers & Symbolism: Secrecy, magic, protection, luck and healing
Ferns were considered an exceptionally odd and magical type of creature, in no small part because they didn't appear to produce either fruit or flowers as a plant should. The seeds were believed to make one invisible when gathered on Samhain eve and carrying them in your pocket would bring good luck in cards. Ferns were very much a fairy plant and it was thought that you could banish a fairy changling to a river or lake by turning them into a clump of ferns.
This one of a kind piece features a real Fern leaf, delicately embossed onto silver and darkened with a dark grey patina. A faceted mosssy green Prehnite hangs beneath with a mix of smokey quartz and moss agate beads.
The piece has been oxidised gun metal black using patina and finished in my personal rustic style. To preserve the patina please ensure you take this piece off before swimming and showering.
This pendant is entirely hand formed, filed and polished from sheet, wire and stone with time and care in my home studio in West Cork, Ireland.
As these are a One of a kind and very labor intensive design, they are more expensive that my standard collection. With this in mind I am very happy to offer layaway and payment installments at your own pace. If you'd like to reserve these earrings and/or pay them off gradually please just get in touch at: RubyRobinBoutique@gmail.com and I would be happy to arrange it for you.
