A genuine acorn strung on chrome ballchain (18" choker). The actual nut or "meat" in the acorn has been removed so it can't become rancid or develop mold. The empty cavity was then filled with resin, the top glued back on, and the entire nut sealed with a satin finish spray polymer. Please note: I have several of these right now and the shape of the acorns may vary slightly. You may or may not receive the one in the photo.
~Symbolism of the Acorn ~
Ancient cultures have long observed the oak's longevity, massive growth, and impressive expanse. These regal trees often live for 200 years or more, which has made them a powerful life-affirming symbol with all cultures who are familiar with them. Oak trees, their leaves, and their seeds (acorns) symbolize life, strength, endurance, immortality, power, honor and loyalty. Because acorns appear only on adult trees they're also a symbol of patience and fertility. Adding to the oak's mystique is the fact that they are struck by lightening more than any other type of tree. The ancient Celts and Norse believed this was because of the immense spiritual energy within these trees. Druids would swallow acorns, believing it would give them the power of prophesy. Acorns have been carried for protection and as good luck charms by many cultures, bestowing upon the bearer longevity, wisdom, youthfulness, prosperity, spiritual growth, and stability and strength in their life.
