Large Maple Leaf Nu Gold Brass Dangle Earrings

Why These Earrings Are Worth Talking About

Let’s be real. Big earrings aren’t always comfy, and sometimes they go overboard. But not these. They’ve got just the right amount of drama without weighing your ears down or clashing with everything in your closet.

And if you're someone who appreciates handmade jewelry with real character, these earrings deliver. Each pair is crafted in John S. Brana’s San Francisco studio, using 100% recycled metals sourced from the U.S. That means you're not just wearing something pretty — you're supporting eco-conscious craftsmanship too.

Product Benefits

Who Should Wear These Earrings?

These are for the woman who likes to be noticed — but in a good way. She’s not into cookie-cutter fashion. She shops for one-of-a-kind accessories that tell a story. Maybe she’s a city girl with a thing for fall leaves, or maybe she’s a nature lover who still wants to sparkle.

And if you're shopping for your wife for your 21st anniversary, these earrings are a sweet nod to tradition without being too old-fashioned. They say, “I know what you like,” without screaming it.

How To Style Them

These maple leaf dangles aren’t just for special occasions. You can wear them with just about anything:

• Casual Days: Throw them on with a cozy sweater and jeans. Instant upgrade.
• Work Looks: Pair them with a simple blouse and let them do the talking.
• Evening Vibes: Add some edge to your LBD or cocktail outfit.
• Weekend Events: Perfect for brunches, art fairs, or strolls through the farmer’s market.

Because of the warm golden color of Nu Gold, they play nice with both warm and cool tones. And they especially pop against darker colors like black, navy, or deep green.

Perfect For These Occasions

Not sure when to wear them? Here’s a quick list of the kind of events these earrings are made for:

• Anniversary dinner dates
• Thanksgiving and fall weddings
• Outdoor festivals
• Holiday parties
• Gallery openings or craft shows
• Just-because-you-feel-fab days

They also make a lovely gift for your mom, sister, or best friend — especially if she loves handmade, earthy styles with a little sparkle.

Let’s Talk About Nu Gold

Not sure what Nu Gold brass is? It’s basically a brass alloy that looks a lot like 14K gold — but without the crazy price tag. It’s sturdy, warm-toned, and when it’s finished like this, it won’t tarnish or leave weird marks on your skin.
