Medium Red Anodized Aluminum Lily Pad Earrings

Who Would Love These Earrings?

If you're into artsy, bold fashion or just tired of the same old accessories, these earrings are for you. They're perfect for:

• Women who like to stand out without going over the top
• Shoppers who love eco-friendly, artisan-made jewelry
• Gift buyers looking for something different—and way more thoughtful than a department store piece
• Husbands on the hunt for a 10th wedding anniversary gift that actually feels personal

These earrings are part of John S. Brana’s anodized aluminum jewelry collection, handcrafted right in his San Francisco studio. You’re not just buying earrings. You’re buying a piece of someone's craft.

Why You’ll Want to Wear These—A Lot

Let’s be real. Some earrings look great but wear like tiny dumbbells. Not these.

These medium-sized lily pad earrings are super lightweight, which means you can wear them all day—no pulling, no pinching, and no regrets.

And that rich red? It’s not just painted on. It’s anodized into the aluminum, so the color won’t flake or fade over time. Rain or shine, they stay bold and bright.

Perfect for:

• Zoom calls when you need a little color
• Brunch with friends—they dress up even the simplest outfit
• Date night, especially paired with a red lip
• Outdoor events where you don’t want heavy jewelry weighing you down
• Everyday wear when you want a no-fuss, high-style vibe

Honestly, they’re as wearable with jeans and a tee as they are with a maxi dress.

How and Where to Wear Them

These are the kind of earrings that turn a plain outfit into something pulled-together and stylish. And because they’re not too big or too small, you can wear them just about anywhere:

• At the office – they give your work look a stylish twist
• Out to dinner – they shimmer under soft lighting like little red petals
• On vacation – they don’t take up space, and you’ll actually wear them
• To weddings – especially great if you’re the guest who wants to shine but not outshine

You can even wear them with your hair up to really show them off—or let them peek out from long waves. Either way, you’re golden.
