Hydrangea Petal Stud Earrings | Botanical Petal Impression | Handmade Sterling Silver or Brass Post Earrings
-
A single hydrangea petal, pressed into metal and worn close — these handmade botanical stud earrings distill the flower to its quietest, most essential form. Each stud is made from a real hydrangea petal impression, approximately ¾" in size, its natural shape varying gently from pair to pair as every bloom is unique.
Hand-applied patina settles into every vein and edge against a satin finish, revealing the full organic detail of the petal in rich, earthy tones. Small and understated, they carry a quiet beauty that rewards a closer look.
Simple enough for everyday wear yet special enough to give, these nature inspired stud earrings make a thoughtful floral jewelry gift or a delicate pair of bridal earrings for the nature-loving bride.

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
Thydrangea speaks of heartfelt gratitude and lasting connection — a bloom that holds its color and shape long after cutting, a fitting symbol of love that endures.
