Feathered Plume Beaded Ear Jacket Earrings | Rusted Jewels

Our best-selling Feathered Plume Earrings bring the drama without the weight. Handmade with colorful glass beads, these fair trade statement earrings create a playful fan of color that peeks out from behind the earlobe. What makes them different These aren't traditional drop earrings. They're ear jackets: the round beaded stud sits on the front of your ear while the feathered plume attaches behind the earlobe. The result is a dimensional, statement-making look that's surprisingly lightweight and easy to wear. They're one of those pairs that make people stop and ask, “Where did you get those earrings?” A longtime OOAK favorite, Feathered Plumes regularly sell out when we take them to markets. Rusted Jewels Rusted Jewels mixes warm rust and terracotta with rich amethyst, soft sage and touches of turquoise and antique gold. The combination feels earthy and collected, with just enough jewel-toned color to make these an easy statement pair.
