Luck You Can Wear Small

The ladybug is a symbol of luck. Because it is so small, it suits a post earring. You see a flash of red and a touch of gold, and nothing more.

A pair of small ladybug earrings can brighten a plain collar or a black sweater.

Red Black Enamel Earrings Take Time

Enamel is powdered glass fired onto metal. It melts into a hard, glossy skin. Red and black are two of its strongest colors. Careful hands lay each color in its own small field.

Faberge's workshop set a high standard for this kind of work. His firm was acclaimed at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. The name still stands for polish and detail, and Faberge ladybug earrings borrow it.

Small Things for the Tsar's Court

The Tsar gave Faberge eggs and animals to the Tsarina. The little beetles in this style echo that habit of giving small, precious things. Small ladybug earrings bring that habit to modern ears.

Wearing the Ladybug Post Earrings

The posts are sterling silver. Keep the ladybug post earrings dry and store them in a box with a soft liner. Wipe the enamel gently after wear.

Red black enamel earrings like these suit a quick change from day to night. See more in our Museum Jewelry Earrings.

Faberge in Short

Carl Faberge lived from 1846 to 1920. His workshop made eggs, flowers and animals for the Imperial court. His firm closed after the 1917 revolution. Every pair of Faberge ladybug earrings is a modern echo of that work.
