Hand enamelled Rue leaf shadow earrings with a white vitreous enamel on sterling silver. The leaf shadow detail can be seen under the transparent enamel contrasting with a solid silver silhouette of the Rue design.

Each pair of earrings are handmade using the traditional art of vitreous enamelling. Thin layers of glass are fused at a high temperature on to the surface of the metal to create this unique piece.

Design features a herb called Rue which grows within Hatfield Estate and symbolises both protection and remembrance.

Rue is known as the "Herb of Grace" and known for its healing properties.
Much favoured by Elizabethans, it is still used today for medical uses.

Small Rue approx 13mm x 12mm diameter on a sterling silver hook earring fitting for pierced ears.

The Rue is one of our most popular designs and makes a wonderful gift. The subtle enamel makes these earrings a very wearable piece of jewellery and compliments the  large & small Rue pendants in the same collection.
