I went all in. Exercise, diet, sleep, supplements — all things mind, body, and spirit. No stone was left unturned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was finding answers and getting better, but the process was slow and tedious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the same time, I was falling deep down a rabbit hole of the Victorian era. (Random, I know, but stay with me.) The Victorians are worth at least one rabbit hole in your life. I watched documentaries and shows, read books, listened to podcasts, scrolled antique Victorian jewelry on eBay…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere along the way, I came across the term \u003ci\u003epteridomania\u003c\/i\u003e, or “fern fever,” a massive cultural craze during the Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother rabbit hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Victorians were OBSESSED with ferns, and for good reason. These forest floor friends are FASCINATING.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey don’t bloom. They reproduce by spores. They’ve been around since before the dinosaurs, and ancient fern-like plants that died deep in prehistoric swamps quite literally helped create the fossil fuels of modern civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI had a touch of pteridomania myself, but it really hit home when I learned about fiddleheads, the springlike new growth that slowly unfurls into a fully outstretched frond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike a flower bud, they can’t be rushed. You can’t pull open a fiddlehead to make the fern leaves unfurl faster. It takes time, water, sunlight, the right nutrients, and patience for the slow and steady work of growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’d been desperately pulling at the fiddleheads of my life, willing results to unfurl faster than they were ready to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was time to move like the fern moves. It was time to trust that my effort was making a difference and embrace patience for the slow and steady work of growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fern is a mess of parts: fresh new growth, woody old growth, and everything in between. Like the fern, I’m my own mess of parts: wise old woody parts and fiddleheads of new growth still waiting to unfurl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection is an homage to a plant that pushed me toward patience exactly when I needed it most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePlease note: If you select ‘Single,’ you will receive one individual earring (not a pair).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach earring measures approximately 2\" tall x 5\/8\" at its widest point and\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eweighs approximately 4 grams in bronze (about the same as one die). \u003cspan\u003eEach hangs from gold-filled or sterling silver ear wires. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll our ear wires are nickel-free.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*The price listed above includes standard ear wires only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (shown in the product photos).
