Crafted by hand in his San Francisco studio, designer John S. Brana creates another stunner with these pierced hammered bronze Arabesque shield earrings. Featuring his signature artisan hammering technique on golden bronze, these lightweight statement earrings have an intricate pierced design reminiscent of old-world Arabesque windows.
The earrings incorporate Brana's mastery of metal smithing along with his custom metal working process. This produces the signature uneven hammered bronze texture, giving each piece a unique handmade appearance. As with all John S. Brana bronze jewelry, they are made from 92% copper and 8% tin bronze alloy that achieves an intriguing golden shine.
Who Would Love These Earrings
These dramatic shield-shaped bronze earrings would appeal to women with bold, artistic taste who appreciate statement jewelry pieces that attract attention. The tribal/global design aesthetic and intricate pierced pattern gives them an exoticworldly allure.
Perfect for the woman who enjoys handmade artisan jewelry with an antique or old-world style. She likes jewelry that has a story behind it - not just another manufactured accessory.
The earrings also make a special gift for a woman with an August birthday. As an 8th anniversary gift, they are a unique alternative to the traditional bronze gift.
How to Wear These Earrings
While lightweight, these bronze shield earrings make a substantial style statement. The tribal/global design and hammered bronze texture give them versatility to be worn casually during the day or glammed up at night.
For daytime, pair them with jeans, a t-shirt or blouse and a leather jacket or fedora hat for an edgy boho vibe. They can also dress up a romantic maxi dress or business casual attire.
At night, these substantial earrings stand out beautifully with an evening gown or LBD cocktail dress and heels. For black-tie events, they add modern edge to your formal outfit. Their unique artisan style also complements dressy bohemian looks.
These modern tribal earrings can also be worn to the office depending on your workplace dress code. Refer to John Brana's guide on wearing bronze earrings to work for appropriate styles.
