Petal Drop Earrings — Mauve

A single hydrangea petal hangs loose inside an open, hand-molded gold hoop — its edges irregular and a little imperfect, like the hoop was shaped by hand rather than a mold. A small pearl rests where petal meets metal, the only quiet detail in an otherwise simple design. Dusky mauve, slightly faded at the edges, like a petal pressed a season too long.

Materials: Hand-carved resin hydrangea petal, freshwater pearl, gold-plated open hoop and earring hook.
