Faery's Ring (Earrings) Description

In Celtic folklore there are legends of Faeries (Tuatha De Danann) to be exact. They are the people of Danu. Many believe that if you dance in the ring of the Fae you will enter their world and be forever in the 'Land of Fae.'

These beautiful earrings were created from a dream I had surrounded by a lush garden of greens and blues with flowers so beautiful that I felt I was in the Faery's ring myself.

I could not wait to share my dream with all of you. These earrings are a small snippet of the dream I had. Earrings Measure 2.5 inches

Fairy rings have featured in the works of European authors, playwrights, and artists from as early as the 13th century. In his Arthurian romance Meraugis de Portlesguez, Raoul de Houdenc describes a scene clearly derived from Celtic fairy-ring lore: The title character visits the Château des Caroles and sees a circle of women and a knight dancing around a pine in the castle courtyard. Meraugis is unable to fight the intense desire to join in, thus freeing the previous knight from the spell. Meraugis is helpless to leave the dance until, ten weeks later, another knight joins it and frees him. Fairy circles feature in works by several Elizabethan poets and playwrights. William Shakespeare alludes to them in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act II, Scene("And I serve the fairy queen, / To dew her orbs upon the green" and "To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind"),

 and The Tempest, Act V, Scene I:[19]

. . . you demi-puppets that
By moonshine do the green sour ringlets make,
Whereof the ewe not bites, and you whose pastime
Is to make midnight mushrooms, that rejoice
To hear the solemn curfew . . . .

Shakespeare's contemporary Thomas Randolph speaks of fairy rings in his Amyntas, or the Impossible Dowry (1638), and Michael Drayton describes one in Nymphidia: The Court of Fairy:

                             And in their courses make that round
                             In meadows and in marshes found,
                             Of them so called the Fairy Ground,
                              Of which they have the keeping.

Fairy imagery became especially popular in the Victorian era. Thomas Hardy uses a fairy ring as a symbol of lost love in The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886); the character Michael Henchard passes a fairy ring and remembers that he last saw his wife Susan there when he sold her to a sailor in a drunken rage.
Victorian poets who have referred to fairy rings in their works include Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Eliza Cook, Robert Stephen Hawker, Felicia Hemans, Gerald Massey, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
W. H. Cummings composed the cantata The Fairy Ring, and William Butler Yeats wrote of them in The Land of Heart's Desire (1894).

 May we all have a little Fae...
