If you're looking for earrings that are stylish without screaming for attention, you're in the right spot. The Small Teardrop Nu Gold Brass Bark Earrings by John S. Brana are just the thing. Lightweight, warm-toned, and full of subtle texture, they’re the kind of earrings that go with everything — but still manage to stand out.
These aren't your average gold earrings. They're handmade in San Francisco using recycled metals, shaped with care, and finished with a bark-like texture that adds a little edge to a classic shape. Whether you're dressing up or just pulling on your favorite jeans, these earrings can hang with you all day — literally.
Why You'll Love These Earrings
Actually, it's not just about how they look. It's about how they feel when you wear them. And how they fit into your life, your style, and maybe even your anniversary plans. Here's what makes them special:
Product Benefits
- Size – Around 2 inches long by ¾ inch wide – just enough to get noticed, without weighing you down.
- Material – Made from raw brass that hasn't been oxidized, for that clean, rich golden look.
- Finish – Hand-chased bark texture gives them a natural, earthy vibe.
- Ear Wires – 14K gold-plated over brass French wires – comfy and elegant.
- Protection – Coated with a non-toxic polymer that helps keep tarnish and discoloration away.
- Gift-Ready – Especially perfect as a 21st Wedding Anniversary Gift – brass is the traditional choice for year 21.
- Eco-Friendly – Made from 100% U.S.-sourced recycled metals.
Who Should Wear These Earrings?
Honestly? Anyone who loves jewelry that feels personal and a little unexpected. But especially if you:
- Like gold, but want something warmer and less shiny
- Are into natural textures and earthy finishes
- Want jewelry that’s handmade, not mass-produced
- Care about buying from artists and supporting small businesses
And if you're shopping for your wife for your 21st wedding anniversary, these earrings basically check every box. They're meaningful, stylish, and made of brass — which is the traditional metal for 21 years together. Pretty cool, right?
Where Should You Wear Them?
Everywhere. Seriously. These earrings are crazy versatile. They're polished enough for dinner out but low-key enough for a coffee run.
Here are some ideas:
- With a linen blouse and jeans for Sunday brunch
- Paired with a silk dress for a fall wedding
- Worn with a blazer to the office
- Thrown on with a tee and messy bun — just because
That golden bark texture works like magic — it catches light but doesn’t scream “look at me.” It's a nice balance of bold and calm.
Best Occasions for This Jewelry
Besides everyday wear, they’re great for:
- Wedding anniversaries – Especially the 21st
- Birthday gifts – For your best friend, sister, or yourself
- Holiday parties – They give off just enough shine
- Gifting "just because" – When you want to give something handmade and personal
What Makes Nu Gold So Cool?
You might be wondering — what even is Nu Gold?
Well, it's a type of brass that's designed to look a lot like gold — but without the crazy price tag. It’s got a slightly warmer, deeper color than regular gold. And when John S. Brana works with it, he adds these natural textures that make each pair of earrings feel more like little wearable sculptures.
