Thimbles were given as love tokens in Victorian times when gifts of any type were discouraged between men and women. Peter Pan and Wendy exchanged thimbles and acorn buttons as kisses. In American Colonial times when items of jewelry were prohibited for moral reasons a thimble was the gift from a fiance to his future bride as a symbol of love and pledge of eternal togetherness. When she married the women removed the bottom of the thimble to form more of a wedding ring. With such a long history of thimbles as a tender gesture of affection I have created a series of one of a kind thimble necklaces.

This listing is for both the thimble and acorn necklace and the earrings. This smaller, elegant antique sterling silver thimble shares a charm ring with an acorn crafted of sterling silver and a natural amethyst stone bead. The ring hangs from a 20" rolo chain that closes with a lobster clasp. The earrings are hand crafted of natural amethyst and sterling silver. All metal elements on both the necklace and the earrings are solid sterling silver. Four elegan hiddent kisses for you or the one you love to kiss!
