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.
Size: Approximately 6mm x 2mm (measured by weight; slight variations natural)
Materials: .999 pure fine silver, .925 sterling silver
Design: Hand-stamped Elder Futhark rune nugget studs
Posts: 20-gauge, half-inch sterling silver with included nuts
Finish: Matte brushed with oxidized stamp contrast (polished finish available)

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.

Silver is torch heated to a molten ball, then hammered by hand into shape. Each earring is hand stamped with custom made steel stamps in the ancient Elder Futhark alphabet.
The rune shown is Algiz, symbol of protection and higher self. It speaks to realizing a hallowed space within, and letting go of what no longer serves you.
Beads are deep purple India glass, rustic and organic.
Ear wires are .925 sterling silver, torch heated with ball tipped ends.
Finish is antique and highly polished. Rustic brushed finish available by request in the note to seller at checkout.
Other runes available by custom request. Note your preferred rune in the message to seller box at checkout.
