Historical Context

Dagger jewellery is documented from the New Kingdom of Egypt (c. 1550 to 1070 BCE). Small carved daggers worn as amulets at the throat or in the hair. Greek and Etruscan women wore dagger pendants from the sixth century BCE. Medieval European women carried small misericorde daggers as both ornament and tool. By the Renaissance the dagger had become a courtly accessory. Worn by both men and women as a mark of personal preparedness rather than active threat.

Symbolic Meaning

The Dagger. Self protection. The close blade. Resilience. The held edge.

Where the longsword is the warrior's weapon, the dagger is the wearer's. It is the personal blade. Carried close, drawn only at close quarters, never thrown.

The earrings carry that meaning. A piece of self defence worn at the head, where the wearer's intelligence and instinct already live.

Wearers Intention

For the close quarters wearers. The dagger is the personal weapon. The one carried for self defence, never drawn at distance. The earrings are for those whose strength is up close. In private conversations, in held boundaries, in the small daily defences of the self.

For the prepared. Dagger jewellery has a long lineage among women in the Egyptian, Greek, and medieval worlds. Worn to mark the wearer's claim to her own protection.

Care Guide

Keep them clean: Regularly wipe down your gold-plated earrings with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt, oil, or sweat that can build up and cause discolouration.

Avoid water: Do not wear your earrings when swimming or showering, as exposure to water can cause the jewellery to tarnish more quickly.

Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid exposing your earrings to harsh chemicals such as perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions, as these can damage the plating and cause it to wear off.

Store them properly: When not in use, store your gold-plated earrings in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

Handle with care: Be gentle when handling earrings to avoid scratching or breaking the products.
