This charming sterling silver ring features one small mushroom with its bell-shaped cap slightly tilted, exposing part of its underside. A simple reminder of fairies, enchanted forests, magic, and the supernatural.
Because mushrooms have a tendency to mysteriously appear overnight without reason, and often in ring-like patterns, they have been associated with the supernatural for thousands of years. Various cultures around the world have believed them to be the work of witches, lightning, or falling stars, and that they are actually portals to the Otherworld. People who walk into these fairy circles, even unknowingly, are transported there.
Other cultures believe mushrooms are the tables for fairy fetes, or fairy umbrellas and parasols, or that the mushrooms are a sign that they mark an underground fairy village.
Fairies – not to be confused with faeries – are good spirits, and kind, although sometimes they can also be mischievous, but in a playful way.
