Handcrafted Silver earrings featuring hoops, gemstones and beach glass by Art and Soul Jewelry.
$ 17.00
Small but meaningful studs, hand-stamped with runic symbols from the Elder Futhark—the oldest known runic alphabet used by Germanic and Norse peoples from around the 2nd to 8th centuries. Each rune carries its own distinct meaning: strength, protection, love, journey, transformation. Choose the rune that speaks to you.
Each earring begins as recycled pure fine silver, torch melted and hand-forged into an organic nugget, then hand-stamped with your chosen rune. Because the silver is shaped by hand and measured by weight, no two nuggets are perfectly round—some rounder, some more organic in shape. That variation is part of what makes each pair genuine.
The surface finishes with a matte brushed texture that deepens the contrast of the oxidized stamp, letting the image stand out with clarity. Posts are standard 20-gauge half-inch sterling silver; custom lengths available upon request.

★ SHOP NOTES — Each piece is made by hand in my Pacific Northwest studio. Find me on Instagram @cindysartandsoul for new work and behind-the-scenes.
Because these silver rune earrings are all handmade and hand-melted, they will not always be perfectly round. Some will be more of a "nugget" shape.
NOTE: Rune post earrings are sold individually to allow you to mix and match your runes. Please note that I require a minimum of two earrings (one set) to be purchased. Thank you!
What are the runes?
Runes come from a time when the world was still perceived as a magical place. And when people still felt a connection to it. Runes were inscribed onto helmets, swords, sacred objects and stones or fragments of wood as dedications of hope and desire, power, and healing.
For these earrings I use custom made steel jewelry stamps in Elder Futhark runes. The ancient and mystical runes of Northern Europe are potent symbols of inspiration.
