Rune post earrings in a new larger size. Shown is an example of the Algiz and Raidho runes from the Elder Futhark ancient alphabet. The runes are mysterious and have been interpreted far and wide. Used by many people today for its symbolism and deep, archetypal significance.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is for one earring to allow you to choose two different letters. Please add rune letter choices individually or at once if you prefer them to be the same. Thank you!Â

These custom runic earrings are handcrafted from .999 pure silver, with your choice of Elder Futhark Runes.
These little nuggets began as fine (99.9%) silver scrap or bits of wire. I heated the metal until a molten ball formed, and then I hammered it out into the little nuggets you see now.
Sterling silver posts are securely soldered to the backs. I have added an oxidized patina to show off their detail and character, with a brushed finish.
Medium-weight sterling post nuts are included.
Size: Given the unique nature of handmade items, sizes may vary slightly. The average size will be 5mm x 1.5mm thick.
Because these silver rune earrings are all handmade and hand-melted, they will not always be perfectly round. Some will be more of a "nugget"Â shape.
NOTE: For mixed sets, please specify the second rune choice in the "message" box upon checkout.
What are the runes?
Runes come from a time when the world was still perceived as a magical place. And when people still felt a connection to it. Runes were inscribed onto helmets, swords, sacred objects and stones or fragments of wood as dedications of hope and desire, power, and healing.
For these earrings I use custom made steel jewelry stamps in Elder Futhark runes. The ancient and mystical runes of Northern Europe are potent symbols of inspiration.
