Sterling Silver Hedgehog Earrings

You can choose between 3 different little hedgehogs (see images to see the different designs). Each stud earring is made entirely from sterling silver with the fronts handsawn from recycled eco sterling silver stock. All my jewellery is handmade in my workshop in Caerphilly, Wales.

Matching cufflinks are also available.

There are 15 species of hedgehog across Europe, Africa and Asia, …they have also been introduced in New Zealand. Here in the UK we have the imaginatively named European Hedgehog. With a habitat stretching across most of Europe from Ireland to Russia, although avoiding the colder northern regions, European Hedgehogs are a gardeners best friend, feasting nightly on slugs and snails. I would love to have one move into my garden, but like many people I’ve only ever seen a live wild one once! Due to a combination of habitat loss, road accidents and poisons like slug pellets, the populations here in the UK at least are falling rapidly. Folk lore would have you believe that hedgehogs suckle the milk from cows at night, but they are in fact lactose intolerant so if you’re leaving out a treat, a non fish based cat food is best, alongside some water.
