Pearl wishbone knot earrings (pe377)
Pewter openwork drop with a hanging freshwater pearl on surgical steel hook.
The Celts used knotwork to decorate many of their artifacts. To them, the intricate patterns woven into spirals and knots symbolise the continuity of life. Cultured pearls can be divided into salt water and freshwater varieties, and account for over 95% of world production. Freshwater pearls are grown in mussels when a nucleus of shaped mantle from another mollusc is placed inside. A mussel can grow between 10 and 20 pearls! Traditional metaphysical properties for the June birthstone pearl are modesty, chastity and purity. The pearl is also used to enhance personal integrity.
Width: 15mm Length (incl. hook): 64mm
Supplied in a satin and velvet-lined gift box.
Matching Necklace also available.
