The raven is a symbol of intelligence, adaptability, partnerships, guidance, transformation, and prophecy. Because of its black plumage, croaking call, and diet of carrion, the raven is often associated with loss and ill omen. Yet, its symbolism is complex. As a talking bird, the raven also represents prophecy and insight. Ravens in stories often act as psychopomps, connecting the material world and the spirit world. These beautiful raven earrings are made of solid hypoallergenic 316L surgical stainless steel. They are dangle or drop style with hook fastenings. The raven earrings have a high polish finish and measure approximately 35mm long by 21mm wide by 1.3mm thick (one earring without ear-wire, charm only). One earring with ear-wire weighs approximately 2 grams. The package will contain one pair.
