A simple yet distinctive pair of earrings. These earrings can be worn anytime you want to be different. They are lightweight and easy to wear.
I fell in love with the main focal point on these earrings, Vintaj brass patterned leaf, and knew I would love to make it different. The natural brass leaves were changed in color (by me) using patina paints. I was able to change the look altogether and I love how
the paints make the leaf charm appear to be from the Victorian age. I love to use Patina paints to work magic on some of my pieces of jewelry. I applied two different colors of Patina paint to the brass leaf charms. After the Patina paint dried, I added Mod
Podge to seal the paint. To accent the leaf charms I added light pink, purple lampwork beads which have fine silver on them. The artisan lampwork beads are made by Serena Thomas. Swarovski rose gold crystal pearls were added to beautifully accent
the earrings These wonderfully distinctive earrings are suspended on gold-filled French ear wires.
The Leaf:
The simple leaf has transformed into enduring beauty throughout the periods of jewelry history. Leaves hold symbolism in many cultures, but in general, they symbolize fertility and growth. The green leaves of spring and summer depict hope, renewal, and
revival.
A note about gold-filled jewelry:
Gold-filled jewelry is a beautiful, affordable alternative to solid gold, and can be worn by people with sensitive skin. It is a hypoallergenic, long-lasting, and more affordable alternative to solid gold. Gold-filled is more durable and tarnish-resistant than gold-
plated. Did you know Gold-Filled components contain 100 times more gold than gold-plated ones?
