Marginalia Angels Chain Dangles

Featuring imagery from a late-medieval illuminated manuscript, these chain dangles capture two small angels tucked between gilded vines and botanical flourishes. I love how manuscripts hid these tender figures in the margins—little guardians peeking out from centuries-old pages. Each piece is hand-cut, collaged, and sealed in resin, and finished with warm bronze ear wires that lend an old-world glow. The shield shape always sits beautifully, offering a graceful bit of movement and just the right amount of presence without feeling heavy. Vivid lapis blues, touches of crimson, and those curling golden tendrils give these earrings the feeling of holding a tiny fragment of a devotional book—intimate, colorful, and full of story.
