Up Close with the Design
These earrings look like tiny bursts of gold sunbeams, frozen mid-twinkle. The die-struck detailing gives them that textured, almost celestial feel—like something you'd spot in a Renaissance painting but with modern-day energy.
And the Nu Gold? It’s not real gold, but it sure looks like it. It gives you that warm golden glow without the price tag or the stress of wearing something too “precious” to enjoy.
What Makes Nu Gold So Good?
Let’s break it down. Nu Gold is a type of brass that looks a lot like 18K gold but costs way less. And no, it’s not plated. So you won’t have to worry about it rubbing off or turning silver. It’s solid all the way through and way more durable than gold-plated stuff.
Also? Brass is the new gold. It’s everywhere right now, and it’s not just a trend—it’s a smarter way to get that glam look while staying sustainable.
Why You’ll Want to Wear Them All Year
Sure, they’ve got holiday sparkle, but that starburst shape? It works in spring and summer too. They’re like little suns for your ears. So don’t be surprised if you end up wearing them to brunch in April and weddings in June.
Pair them with a Nu Gold bracelet or one of our Nu Gold necklaces to keep the glow going.
