Why You'll Love These Earrings

These earrings pull their inspiration straight from nature—the smooth swoop of a heron’s wing, the soft shimmer of aluminum catching the light like sunlight on water. But they’re not just pretty. They’re made to be worn all day without dragging your lobes down or turning your skin green.

Here’s why they’re your next favorite pair:

And yep, they’re a perfect 10th anniversary gift—since aluminum is the traditional gift for ten years. Romantic and smart.
