{"product_id":"plum-blossom-stud-earrings-sterling-silver","title":"Plum Blossom Stud Earrings — Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmall sterling silver flower studs inspired by plum blossom, each measuring approximately \u003cstrong\u003e8mm × 8mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Their irregular, softly sculptural petals give them a botanical feel without becoming overly pretty or delicate. Designed as an easy everyday earring, they are small enough for a second piercing or earring stack, but have enough texture and character to wear on their own. Handmade and finished in Mt Eden, Auckland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall. Easy to wear.

Just like the real thing, the petals sit a little differently from one another — that's part of their character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they small enough for everyday wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYep. That's really what these are about. They're small enough to pop in and forget about, but the texture and irregular petals mean they don't feel like just another plain little stud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear them in a second piercing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely. At around 8mm they work really well in an earring stack — particularly alongside a simple hoop or a slightly larger earring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI like flowers, but I'm not really a floral-jewellery person.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou're probably exactly who I had in mind. These aren't neat, perfect little flowers. They're slightly wonky, textured and sculptural, so they have a botanical feel without heading into cute territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWould they make a good gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — particularly if you're buying for someone who wears silver studs most days. They're an easy size to wear, there's no ring size to guess, and the flower gives them a little more personality than a classic round stud. A good choice when you want a gift to feel thoughtful without making it too complicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the two earrings exactly the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — and that's intentional. There will be small differences in the petals and surface from one flower to the next. Perfectly matched isn't really the point here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Plum Blossom pieces came from watching the plum tree beside my workshop come into flower. From a distance the blossoms look quite perfect. Get up close and they're really not — petals overlap, curl and sit at odd little angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch more interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese studs strip the original Plum Blossom design right back to just the flower. No leaf, no hoop, no extra bits. Just a small piece of textured silver that happens to be a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear them when you want an earring you don't have to think about. Add one to a second piercing when your usual hoops need a mate. Or gift them to someone who loves flowers but would run a mile from anything too pretty-pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HerbertandWilks Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67618307473721,"sku":"PBS-SS","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/0668\/2937\/files\/PlumBlossomStudssq3.jpg?v=1791445558","url":"https:\/\/www.herbertandwilks.co.nz\/products\/plum-blossom-stud-earrings-sterling-silver","provider":"HerbertandWilks Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
