Ancient, symbolic and quietly magical, the fern is one of the oldest plants on earth, dating back to prehistoric times. Unlike most plants, it carries no seed, adding to the mystery and folklore that has surrounded it for centuries.
Traditionally believed to ward off witches and evil spirits, ferns were once woven into protective crosses by shepherds in Brittany and Normandy to watch over both themselves and their flocks. Today, the fern remains a beautiful symbol of longevity, humility, new beginnings and good fortune.
Like a whispered little message from nature, these Fern Leaf Drop Earrings are designed to be worn as small amulets for luck, protection and renewal.
Each pair has been created from real fern leaves, preserving every delicate vein and detail in recycled sterling silver. The earrings measure approximately 4cm in length, with the fern itself measuring around 3cm. They arrive beautifully wrapped alongside an intention notelet sharing the fern’s symbolism and meaning.
Inspired by the fern-covered woodland paths, tangled hedgerows and lush Cornish countryside surrounding her home near the Eden Project, Rebecca Oxenham creates jewellery that captures the quiet beauty and symbolism found within nature. Thoughtfully handcrafted using recycled 925 sterling silver, each piece is designed to feel meaningful, timeless and deeply connected to the natural world.
