Description

Judy McCaig Summer Earrings are a beautiful addition to any jewelry collection. The gold leaf refers to the warm summer sun that makes your skin glow. The rectangular shape of the earrings reminds us of small canvases. It’s as if you wear a portable painting in your ears. The relief pattern in the earrings gives an extra touch of depth to the work.
