Hydrangea Crescent Earrings | Botanical Flower Impression | Handmade Sterling Silver or Brass Dangle Earrings
-
A wide crescent of metal, impressed with three or four hydrangea petals rising from the base — organic, off center, and entirely one of a kind. Each pair is pressed from a real bloom, finished with hand-applied patina that deepens the floral detail against a satin surface.
The crescent suspends from a long looped wire spanning point to point, hanging from a sterling silver French ear wire. Earthy and handcrafted, these botanical dangle earrings move beautifully and wear effortlessly — quiet enough for everyday, distinctive enough to be remembered.
A perfect floral jewelry gift or bridal earring for the nature-loving bride. Available in two metals and four sizes.
- Sterling silver — tiny (7/8") and small (1")
- Jeweler's brass — tiny (7/8"), small (1"), medium (1¼"), and large (1¾")
Sterling silver French ear wire. Handcrafted by Athena in Vermont.
Sterling silver, Gold, and Jeweler's Brass
Brass Pieces will develop a deep gold patina over time. Sterling silver will develop a black patina. To remove this you can use a jewelry polishing cloth like Sunshine Polishing cloths.
Gold pieces may be cleaned with a soft cotton cloth only - we do not recommend cleaning with commercial cleaners.
Storage
Keeping your jewelry away from moisture and storing it in a cool dry place will slow the tarnishing process. Your jewelry came with a 1' anti- tarnish tab. You can use this in your jewelry box to help absorb moisture.
Gemstones
The use of commercial products is not recommended for cleaning any of the gemstones in the Athena Bandit jewelry collection. You may clean stones using a soft cloth and mild, lukewarm soapy water. Some stones, such as Coral, Spiny Oyster Shell, Opals, Jade, Turquoise, and Pearls are delicate and should be cleaned using a soft cloth only. Using any products on these stones may harm them.
The Meaning Behind Hydrangea

The Anatomy of a Hydrangea
