These fun statement earrings are made from mirrored and glitter acrylic in gorgeous contrasting colours with watercolour style printed pansies and a trompe l’oeil tassel design. These super lightweight earrings are 8.5cm long and 2.5cm wide. These come in 6 different varieties of pansy. (And 6 different tassels!) The stud backs are made from surgical steel, perfect for sensitive ears. The pansy has been adopted as a symbol of free thought, since “pansy” comes from “pensee,” the French word for “thought.” These gorgeous blooms were worn as a symbol by many of the brave women of the Suffragette movement. The tassel has almost always been a symbol of power and prestige. Initially serving mearly as a knot to prevent weaving from unraveling, over the course of time they took on a more powerful significance and were even worn by priests and military officers as talismans to ward off evil spirits.
