Red Squirrel Earrings

Clutching their acorn and ready for autumn — these handpainted cork red squirrel earrings are a love letter to one of Britain's most cherished woodland creatures. Each charm is cut from sustainable cork leather and painted by hand in rich russet reds and deep browns, with bold black shading, bright white eye highlights, and gold fleck cork that catches the light beautifully.

Part of our Woodland Collection and our Creatures Great and Small collection — a celebration of the wildlife that makes the British countryside so special, from the treetops to the forest floor.

Materials

Our cork leather is made from the bark of cork oak trees, which naturally regenerates after harvesting without harming the tree — making it one of the most sustainable materials available.

• Sustainable cork leather — lightweight, flexible, and environmentally friendly
• Gold fleck cork adds warmth and shimmer, catching the light with every movement
• Hypoallergenic stainless steel findings — lead and nickel free, suitable for sensitive ears
