Description
Beautiful lovespoon earrings in Rhiannon Welsh Gold, a twist on the old Welsh tradition of giving lovespoons to your beloved.
The tradition of giving lovespoons goes back at least 400 years and involved a suitor carving a spoon for the object of his affections. Over the years they became more elaborate and many symbols were incorporated, each with a special meaning.
In some parts of Wales the term “Sponer” (probably a Welsh influenced form of Spooner) is still used as a synonym for one’s boyfriend or girlfriend.
