Hummingbird Studs in Silver

Description

Beautiful little silver hummingbird studs. The pair come as left and right.

Hummingbirds have a long history of folklore and symbolism in native cultures. The Aztecs saw them as messengers between them and their ancestors or the gods. In Native American culture, hummingbirds are seen as healers and bringers of love, good luck and joy. In Central America, they are a sign of love and will bring love to the person who spots them.

There is indeed something magical about the hummingbird that makes it like no other creature on Earth.

Interesting factoids about this incredible wee bird:

• Fly backwards, hover up and down, and go from flying full speed to an instant stop
• Has wings that beat up to 80 times per second, creating an almost bee or insect-like humming sound
• Has the smallest bird eggs in the world
• The world’s smallest bird is the bee hummingbird of Cuba, which measures a mere 5 cm from the tip of its beak to the end of it’s tail

A reminder to appreciate, notice and remember the small things in life.
