For millennia the acorn has symbolized the potential for great
power in a small but potent package. It is a symbol of patience
and the fruition of long, hard labor. English Proverb:
“Great oaks from little acorns grow”...urges one to wait for
maturation of a project or idea. It is also a symbol for fertility,
immortality, and survival because the seeds of the “mighty oak”
are acorns. Oaks can live a 100 years and are considered strong
and stable. The oak tree was the mythical home of the god of
thunder so the acorn was a charm against lightening. The
ancients thought the oak to be the only tree that could
consistently survive being hit by lightening. In a German folk
tale a farmer tries to outwit Satin, to whom he has promised his
soul by asking for a reprieve until his first crop is harvested
...he plants acorns and has many years to enjoy first!
In Britain, there is an old tradition for women to carry an
acorn on her person to delay aging and keep her young forever!
Our sterling silver acorns are cast from actual shingle oak
acorns and are a solid reproduction. Shingle oaks are a useful
tree. Early American pioneers split this oak for shingles for
the roofs of their houses.
