Earrings - St. Joseph

These sweet earrings call to mind the lilies of St. Joseph.

A white lily hand painted on warm bronze resin — each one slightly different, because that's what handmade means. The lily isn't decorative. It carries a story that goes back to the Temple in Jerusalem, when a group of men brought bare rods before the high priest, each hoping to be chosen as husband to Mary. Joseph's rod alone burst into bloom — white lilies, fragrant and sudden. He didn't choose her. God chose him.

That's who Joseph is. Not a man who sought greatness, but a man who said yes to it quietly. Patient, faithful, present. The kind of holiness that doesn't announce itself.

Wear these on a feast day, or on a Tuesday when you need a reminder that faithfulness in small things is its own kind of sacred.

These lovely brass earrings are lead and cadmium free and nickel safe. Each square bezel is filled with iridescent bronze resin and hand painted with white lilies (the earrings measure ~20mm across). 

Due to the hand painted nature of these earrings, please expect small variations on appearance.
