These Archaeologist Badger Stud Earrings feature a characterful badger dressed for fieldwork in a practical pocketed vest, complete with a trusty hand trowel ready for the next excavation. Hand-painted on sustainably sourced wood, the design brings archaeology and British wildlife together in a playful miniature tribute to life in the field.

Finished with hypoallergenic stainless steel posts, these lightweight earrings are comfortable for everyday wear. They make a wonderfully distinctive gift for archaeologists, archaeology students, history lovers and badger lovers, whether for a birthday, Christmas, graduation or to celebrate a new excavation or archaeological adventure.

Badgers are affectionately regarded by some within archaeological circles as an unofficial mascot of the profession, thanks to their impressive digging abilities and tendency to uncover what lies beneath the ground. Pairing one with an archaeologist’s trowel makes this design a playful little in-joke for anyone who spends their time digging into the past.
