Antique Bavaria rose china, reimagined as wearable art
A pink rose rescued from an antique Bavaria Franklin 4177 plate becomes the centerpiece of these one-of-a-kind drop earrings. Each china cabochon preserves the original rose and blue-scrollwork pattern, framed in a hand-forged silver-blend bezel and finished with a delicate teardrop hoop.
Authentic natural turquoise chips add a little color and movement beneath the china. They are an easy way to bring vintage character, floral detail, and artisan texture to an everyday look.
