Green Thistle Wooden Stud Earrings — Real Pressed Wild Thistle Botanical Studs | Handmade in Floyd, Virginia

Description

A little wild, a lot of character. These hand-painted green wooden studs showcase real thistle flowers encased in crystal-clear resin — combining the prickly, fiercely independent personality of the thistle with a bright green backing that makes the botanical pop with unexpected warmth. Foraged from our Floyd, Virginia farm and surroundings and handcrafted in small batches by R&D Floral — for the wearer who has never particularly wanted to be handled gently, and whose jewelry should probably reflect that.

Why It Matters

The Thistle is one of the most symbolically loaded plants in the Western world. It is the national emblem of Scotland, adopted after the famous story of Viking invaders who stepped on wild thistles while trying to approach a sleeping Scottish army — their cries of pain woke the Scots, who defeated the invasion and saved the country. Since then, Thistle has represented resilience, fierce protection, and the particular courage of something that defends itself beautifully. Wearing Thistle says: I am not soft, and I am not sorry about it. And that is exactly the right energy for a stud earring.
