As the warmth of summer fades into the crisp air of fall, there's still a touch of magic lingering in the twilight—like the gentle glow of lightning bugs, flickering one last time before the night grows longer. These earrings are a tribute to those fleeting moments when the evening air is soft, and the world feels full of quiet wonder.
Each pair is hand-painted with care, capturing the delicate beauty of a lightning bug’s soft glow. Framed in fine silver and adorned with a delicate silver flower, they’re a reminder that even as the seasons change, there’s light in the dark.
Perfect for those who cherish the fleeting beauty of nature and want to carry a piece of its magic with them, even as the leaves turn.
Treat yourself to a little piece of autumn’s quiet charm.

Fun fact:
Vitreous enamel, a technique cherished for centuries, traces its origins back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, who adorned jewelry with its vibrant hues as far back as 1500 BCE. What sets vitreous enamel apart is not just its rich history but also its remarkable durability. Crafted from fused glass, the colors are permanently bonded to the metal base, ensuring they never scratch off or fade over time. This fusion of glass and metal creates jewelry that not only dazzles with its timeless beauty but also stands strong against the wear and tear of everyday life.

Care for your Enamel Jewelry:
I have chosen high-quality materials to create a piece of artful jewelry that will last a lifetime. Even though they will be so comfortable, you might forget they are there, try not to bathe or swim with them. Moisture from the water will cause your silver to darken very quickly, especially chlorine. Next, put on perfume or body spray before your jewelry, and lastly, I recommend removing it before using cleaning products. Many will cause silver to darken from the fumes, and some can even hurt your enamel, so to be careful, I always recommend removing all jewelry. A beautiful care card will come with your jewelry.
