Why These Earrings Just Work
So, what makes these maple leaf earrings stand out? Let’s be real, there’s no shortage of leaf-shaped jewelry out there. But these? They don’t scream touristy trinket. They whisper style. Like a quiet nod to nature that still manages to turn heads.

What Makes Nu Gold So Special?
Nu Gold is a type of brass with a rich, gold-like color that doesn’t scream fake. It’s got that old-world, antique-y warmth but in a modern shape. And since it’s sealed with a clear, non-toxic coating, you don’t have to worry about tarnishing or green skin drama.
It’s also way better for the planet. All John S. Brana jewelry is made using recycled, U.S.-sourced metals. So you get to look good while doing a little good too.
