Looking for something that turns heads without trying too hard? These Star of Bethlehem Nu Gold Brass Dangle Earrings might be exactly what your jewelry box is missing. They're handmade, full of old-school charm with a modern twist, and they go with pretty much everything. Whether you're treating yourself or shopping for a 21st wedding anniversary gift, this pair brings the shine — without being over the top.
A Star That Never Fades
Inspired by the Star of Bethlehem, these earrings are more than just pretty. They’ve got meaning. That star is all about guidance, hope, and staying bright through the dark. And that's what makes these earrings feel so personal. Every starburst is die-struck by hand, giving each pair a slightly different vibe — kind of like snowflakes, but shinier.
These aren't the type of earrings you grab from a department store shelf. They're handmade in San Francisco by designer John S. Brana, who's been doing this for over 20 years. He works with 100% U.S.-sourced recycled metals, so not only are you looking good — you're doing good, too.
Product Benefits
- Length: About 2 inches – long enough to dangle, short enough to not catch on your scarf
- Width: About 3/4 inches – just wide enough to stand out
- Material: Nu Gold Brass with a non-toxic polymer coating that helps fight off tarnish and discoloration
- Ear Wires: Brass French hooks – simple and comfy
- Finish: Raw brass, not oxidized, for that soft golden glow
- Detailing: Starburst design pressed into the brass — not glued, not stamped, die-struck
Who Would Love These Earrings?
Let’s be honest. These earrings aren’t for wallflowers. They’re for:
- Fashion-forward women who aren’t afraid to wear something bold and handmade
- Anyone who’s bored of fast fashion and wants jewelry with heart
- Husbands looking for a meaningful 21st wedding anniversary gift that says, “I still see you”
- Shoppers who care about eco-conscious design and want to support small studios
If you’re tired of the same old gold hoops and want something with a little more personality, these earrings are calling your name.
Where and How to Wear Them
These earrings are surprisingly easy to wear. They’ve got enough glow to dress up a casual outfit but still feel chill enough for everyday errands.
Try them with:
- A slouchy black sweater and jeans
- A fitted blazer and a tee for a Zoom meeting
- A cozy knit dress and boots for fall outings
- A breezy maxi dress for summer get-togethers
And because they’re lightweight, you won’t be pulling them off halfway through the day. They hang nicely, move just enough to catch the light, and won’t stretch your earlobes. Win-win.
Perfect For These Occasions
Not sure when to wear them? Here's a few ideas:
- Holiday parties – Yes, they sparkle enough for that
- Date nights – You’ll look just the right amount of fancy
- Weddings – As a guest or even as a bridesmaid gift
- Gifting – They're a great choice for the 21st wedding anniversary, especially since brass is the traditional metal
- Everyday glam – No need to wait for something big
They’re dressy but not stiff. Stylish but not loud. Basically, the goldilocks of earrings.
Why Nu Gold Brass is the Cool Kid in Town
If you’ve never heard of Nu Gold, here’s the scoop. It’s a brass alloy that looks a lot like real gold — but it’s way more affordable. It has a warmer tone than regular brass and holds up really well over time. Plus, it doesn’t come with the high-maintenance drama of solid gold.
