Inspired by a cherished memory and reimagined with love, the Rita Earrings pay tribute to Emily’s beloved grandmother, Mary Rita. These handcrafted earrings feature playful geometric shapes and vibrant red and white glass beads, a nod to an heirloom piece that carried a heartwarming story.
“When I was a little girl, I was too afraid to get my ears pierced. Knowing this, my grandmother gifted me a pair of her clip-on earrings. I adored them, wearing them constantly—until one day, I lost one. Devastated but determined, I found a way to restore the pair that meant so much to me.
With the help of a local glass artist, we recreated the missing bead. Unable to create a perfect color match due to the age of the glass, we ended up inverting the colors - giving life to the asymmetrical design you see today!”
These handcrafted earrings blend brushed silver shapes with vibrant hand-blown glass beads, echoing the original clip-ons and honoring their history. Twenty-five percent of every purchase goes toward Alzheimer’s research, in honor of Mary Rita, who despite her own battle with the disease, still remembered the story of these special earrings when Emily shared it with her.
The Rita Earrings are more than just an accessory—they’re a testament to finding beauty in change, and the power of memories. Wear them with pride, knowing that your purchase helps further the fight against Alzheimer’s.
