Whimsical and full of charm, this mismatched pair of hand-painted cork earrings captures the classic phrase “the early bird catches the worm.” One earring features a sweet red-breasted robin, while the other showcases a playful little worm — together creating a storybook-inspired design that's both meaningful and fun.

Part of our Birds of a Feather collection, each piece is crafted from sustainable cork and painted by hand, making every pair a truly one-of-a-kind treasure that's eco-friendly and beautifully lightweight.

Materials

Our cork leather is made from the bark of cork oak trees, which naturally regenerates after harvesting without harming the tree. This makes cork a renewable, eco-friendly material that's both beautiful and sustainable.

  • Made from sustainable cork leather — lightweight and environmentally friendly
  • Gold flecked cork adds an eye-catching element of warmth, colour and shimmer
  • Hypoallergenic stainless steel findings, suitable for sensitive ears — lead and nickel free

Details

  • Handmade in Suffolk, UK

Every Pair is Unique
