Dainty Copper Swallow Earrings

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.

Product Benefits

• Measurements – Approx. 1 1/4 inches long by 1 inch wide—just the right size for a subtle statement
• Material – Raw copper (not oxidized), giving it a natural, warm glow
• Ear Wires – Brass French hooks, gentle on the ears and comfy for all-day wear
• Tarnish-Resistant – Coated in a clear, non-toxic polymer to fight off tarnish and skin discoloration
• Great Gift – Especially perfect for a 7th wedding anniversary, where copper is the traditional symbol

Who Would Love These Earrings?

Honestly? Just about anyone who loves light, nature-inspired jewelry with a little personality. But especially:

• Fashion-forward women who want something different from the usual factory-made pieces
• Minimalist lovers who like subtle, small jewelry that still feels special
• Eco-conscious buyers who care where their jewelry comes from
• Husbands or partners looking for a sweet copper anniversary gift that isn’t just another bracelet

If that sounds like someone you know—or sounds like you—you’re in the right place.

Where and How to Wear Them

These earrings are versatile enough to slide into your everyday routine without skipping a beat. Here’s how we like to style them:

• With denim and a white tee – For a casual, laid-back look that still feels pulled together
• Paired with sundresses – Perfect for adding a touch of earthy warmth
• With a high bun and button-down – Great for a more polished, business-casual vibe

You can even layer them with a copper chain necklace for extra impact—or pair with a hammered copper cuff when you want to feel a little bold.

When Are These Best To Wear?

These earrings are like that friend who’s always down for anything. You can wear them to:

• Work – Small enough to stay professional
• Date nights – Add a romantic, nature-inspired touch
• Weddings – Especially outdoor or garden weddings
• Festivals or Art Shows – Stand out in a crowd without looking like you tried too hard
• Casual coffee runs – Just because

Basically, whenever you feel like being a little extra... in a quiet, pretty way.

Style Meets Sustainability

What makes these earrings extra special isn’t just how they look—but how they’re made. Every pair is handcrafted in John S. Brana’s San Francisco studio, using only recycled and refined metals from U.S. sources. No shortcuts. No big factories. Just real craftsmanship and heart.
