Made to Last, Made to Matter

John S. Brana doesn’t just design jewelry — he makes it by hand in his San Francisco studio. Every curve, cut, and detail is shaped with care. So it’s not just beautiful, it’s personal. And that’s a big deal in a world full of factory-made stuff.

How They’re Made: A Closer Look

These earrings start with raw bronze sheet metal — no coatings, no shortcuts. Each leaf shape is hand-cut and then textured to bring out the delicate veins and natural edges of a ginkgo leaf.

They’re not mass-produced, so every pair has its own slight variations. That’s part of the charm.

The non-toxic polymer coating keeps the finish fresh — no weird green marks or dark tarnish. And the bronze French ear wires are just curved enough to keep them secure while still being comfy.

Pair Them With More Bronze Goodness

Want to complete the look? Bronze plays really well with others. Here’s how to build an outfit around your new favorite earrings:

• – Long chains or layered pendants both work
