Soleil Fringe Earrings
- Golden-hour warmth — gold-plated fringe with jade and cream glass.
- Handcrafted by a woman-owned studio in New Jersey.
- 1¼ inch drop — close and delicate, pure shimmer without swing.
Late afternoon in a southern city. The light goes amber and everything it touches turns warm — the limestone, the ironwork, the trailing edge of a conversation drifting from a courtyard. There is a particular quality to sun at that hour, when it stops illuminating and starts adorning. Everything it falls on becomes jewelry.
That golden-hour generosity is what these earrings channel. Three slender fringe drops catch and scatter light the way a beaded curtain does in a doorway — each one tipped with cream-colored glass and dyed jade that reads like pale celadon, cool against all that warmth. The effect is Mediterranean and modern at the same time, somewhere between a Matisse odalisque and a weekend in Savannah. David Aubrey, a woman-owned studio working out of New Jersey, designs pieces that feel collected rather than purchased — the kind of earring you'd swear you found at a flea market in Marseille, except the craftsmanship is too deliberate for that.
Sun, distilled.
The fringe is gold-plated brass with a soft, buttery finish that avoids anything flashy. At 1¼ inches including the ear wire, they sit close and move gently — more shimmer than swing. Each earring weighs 3 grams, light enough to forget you're wearing them until someone asks where you found them. The ear wires are hypoallergenic, and the whole piece has the kind of quiet polish that works with a linen shirt or a black dress without changing its personality.

Got questions?
We've got answers
Find fast answers about shipping, returns, and our unique jewelry.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders ship within one business day of placing your order — sometimes the same day. Economy shipping typically takes about a week via USPS, while standard shipping (Priority Mail) arrives in 2-3 business days. We're based in North Carolina, so East Coast orders tend to arrive a little faster. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.
Will the jewelry fade or tarnish?
Our jewelry is made from a variety of materials, including sterling silver. Sterling silver will eventually tarnish, but you can slow that process by storing it in a small airtight bag or container, or in a special anti-tarnish bag. If it’s lost some shine, it can be gently washed with a soft cloth, warm water, and a drop of mild soap, such as blue Dawn. If you still see tarnish, use an anti-tarnish cloth. Do not use commercial jewelry cleaners unless they are specifically labeled safe for sterling silver. The best way to keep your sterling silver shiny is to wear it often! The more you wear it, the less tarnish you’ll see. And never wear sterling silver in the swimming pool or hot tub! Chlorine will cause it to tarnish almost instantly.
Most other metals don’t exactly tarnish, but they can get a little dull if they’re not worn. Washing with a tiny amount of mild soap is the best way to bring them back to life again. You can prevent this by putting on your jewelry last, after you apply hairspray or perfume, and don’t wear them in the shower or bath.
Genuine pearls do require extra gentle care. Don’t ever use commercial jewelry cleaners on them; you will almost certainly damage the nacre and destroy their unique sheen and iridescence. Be very careful about hairspray, cosmetics, and perfume, and absolutely never put them in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner!
Can I return or exchange?
Yes. You have 30 days from receipt to return or exchange anything that isn't marked Final Sale. Items need to be in new condition. Exchanges ship free, with no minimum order required. Returns are refunded minus a $5 shipping fee (once per shipment, not per item). We don’t ever charge restocking fees.
Is your jewelry hypoallergenic?
Most of our pieces are hypoallergenic, but not all. You can filter to only show hypoallergenic pieces when browsing, and you will also see an icon on all pieces certified hypoallergenic and nickel-free by their makers.
Can I track my order?
Yes — as soon as your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number by email so you can follow it the whole way to your door.
What makes your jewelry different?
Honestly? Most of it comes down to Amanda. Every maker on this site has been personally researched and verified — she checks that pieces are genuinely handmade, by the person who claims to have made them, using the materials listed. These are small-batch pieces in sterling silver, gold-filled, and genuine gemstones, mostly made in the USA. They aren’t factory pieces, aren’t from resellers, and are not the same thing you'd find on a hundred other sites. When something sells out here, it often stays sold out.
