Vintage Lavender Glass Fairy Leaf Drop Earrings

Lavender glass and stainless steel fairy earrings for those who want lightweight statement jewellery with a clear story and everyday wearability. Light on the ear at approximately 5 g per earring, so they can be worn for a full day without pulling or strain. Lavender-toned glass catches natural and indoor light, adding soft colour to neutral outfits or evening wear. Polished stainless steel resists tarnishing, making them suitable for regular use without constant maintenance. Elongated drop shape (approx. 7.5 × 6 cm) creates visible movement without feeling oversized. Winged fairy motif adds narrative detail, ideal for those drawn to myth, folklore, or symbolic jewellery. Materials Origin: Made in China. Materials: Glass and stainless steel. The decorative elements are formed from tinted lavender glass set into a polished stainless steel structure. The steel has a smooth, reflective finish that holds its shine over time and does not oxidise like plated metals. The glass surface is glossy and firm, with colour embedded in the material rather than painted on. As with all glass components, minor variations in tone or tiny internal bubbles can occur and are part of the manufacturing process. Usage & Care Wear as drop earrings for everyday styling or evening occasions. The 7.5 cm length makes them visible even when worn with loose hair. Store separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches on the glass surface. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove skin oils. Avoid dropping onto hard surfaces, as glass can chip or crack under impact. If exposed to perfume or hairspray, allow the surface to dry before storing. Story & Cultural Background The design references the Hesperides, figures from ancient Greek mythology described as nymphs associated with evening light and guarded gardens. In classical sources, they are linked with twilight and the golden orchard at the edge of the known world. Fairy and nymph motifs have long appeared in European decorativ
