Description

Manicules (little hands) were typographic devices designed to draw attention to something important, in this case the wearer’s personality. Like the interchangeable hands of a Roman emperor statue, each of the five medieval manicule earrings you can choose from grasps an object which symbolises a key personal characteristic or profession:

The healer – plant
The builder – hammer
The warrior – dagger
The artist – brush
The scholar – scroll

Each hand sculpted fine silver hand measures approximately 2 x 0.7 cm and has a sterling silver hook.
