These hang 8-9 inches long.
For a long time I've been trying to design the perfect dream catcher earring. Dream catchers are so beautiful and have a very powerful symbolism. These are made with round metal loops wrapped with maroon colored string, a silver colored bead and a variety of natural or dyes feathers.
These are great for daydreamers...These earrings are made to filter out negative thoughts and keep the positive ones close to you!

Dream catcher Symbolism:
It's dark. The night air is filled with dreams...good and bad! A dream catcher is hanging close to the cradle or bed, swaying in the night breezes. Dreams must pass through it to get to the sleeper. Bad ones get tangled in the web, but the good ones know how to pass through the center hole and glide down the feathers. The morning sun shines on it and the bad dreams caught in its web "expire".
The dream catcher originated
with the Ojibway (Chippewa) tribe.

The "eye" on the end of the peacock tail feather protect against the "evil eye" and stimulates inner clairvoyant vision.
The rooster's two prominent tail feathers (called sickles) are symbols of the God and Goddess. The black ones are sacred to the God because of their resemblance to the curved horns of the Horned God. They are also a symbol of male virility.The white ones are sacred to the Goddess because they resemble the tool (the sickle) with which grain (sacred to her) is reaped. They also resemble the waxing and waning Moon.
Made with love, Enjoy!
