Silver and Gold Modern Earrings

A little sparkle for the holidays in silver and gold.  The sterling silver ear wires are simple and elegant and all that is needed to show off these handcrafted golden branch beads.

Golden Branch Modern Earrings

Dress them up or down with a clutch:

I'd sport them with a textured clutch with a silk ribbon flower from Kelley's Keepsakes for a daytime holiday gathering.

But if it was an evening party I might pair them up with this silver silk and mustard yellow ribbon, wrapped up like a little gift, from AO3 Designs 

Golden Nest Earrings

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all.

-Emily Dickinson

Sometimes you just have to the let the charms do all the talking - I paired my tiny golden nest charms with  a little spring of brass chain and 3 entwined brass jump rings.
