Wear these dimensional thistle post earrings as an amulet of protection. The thistle, nature's prickliest flower, represents overcoming adversity to become resilient and brave, and serves as a reminder that the only thing standing between a beautiful flower and a pesky weed is judgment. Those who study herbs and natural remedies know the thistle as the flower of the sun, and the herb of witches. It's used to protect against evildoers because evil cannot look directly at the sun. That's why you can find thistles near the front doors of witches, and burning their seeds wards off malevolent spirits. ·         Available in Sterling Silver & Bronze(with sterling silver posts) · Made from Recycled Sterling Silver. · Lipped earring cards will come free with every order. Please note that earrings will not be pre-carded. ·         Our bronze is a high-quality Italian alloy of copper and tin that contains an anti-tarnish compound which delays oxidation.
