Actually, sometimes all it takes is one small detail to change your whole vibe. And that’s exactly what these Dainty Copper Swallow Earrings do. They're delicate, feather-light, and shaped like tiny flying swallows—bringing a peaceful, breezy feel to your everyday look. Handmade from 100% U.S.-sourced recycled copper, they’re more than just pretty—they tell a story of thoughtful design and earth-friendly values.
Whether you're heading to brunch, running errands in a tee and jeans, or dressing up for a summer wedding, these earrings just work. No fuss. Just charm.
Why Swallows?
Well, swallows have always been a symbol of hope, love, and safe return. In ancient times, they were believed to carry souls to heaven. But in everyday fashion? They're a go-to for adding some softness and sweetness to your look—without going full-on dainty princess mode. And with copper, that softness comes with a little edge.
So yeah, these earrings aren’t just jewelry—they’re a vibe.
