The Story

Urban farmers and weekend gardeners know the dreams a seed holds. Within such a small casing is possibility, hope, and renewal. A speck can grow up to become a queen. Plus, we think these seed earrings are way more elegant than having a full-grown squash dangling from your ear. Great as a gift to mark new passings. It’s also a nice gift to yourself — remember that within you is something still waiting to bloom.

Wear this trio of seeds on each ear as a symbol of growth and new passings, and remember: within you, something new is still waiting to bloom.
How to Wear

These star-like earrings sparkle, especially with an ordinary pair of faded jeans.
Curiosities

Still life paintings focused on botanical objects—squash was popular—in the 16th century. Curiosities from the natural world gained prominence, leaving behind religious or mythological symbolism.

Most of a human’s calories come from seeds (nuts, legumes, cereals, oils).

But not all seeds are edible. In Season 4 of “Breaking Bad,” Walter White gives Jesse a cigarette with ricin in it, which might (or might not) have poisoned Brock. Ricin comes from the seed of a castor bean. You’ll also want to steer clear of the seeds from a strychnine tree.

The oldest viable seed was excavated from Herod the Great’s palace in Israel. The date palm seed was 2,000 years old and germinated in 2005.
