Shelter-Polymer Clay Earrings

from $16.00

"Friendship is the sheltering tree that protects you from the loneliness of the world." — John O'Donohue

Some friendships are loud and bright. Others are more like a tree — rooted, steady, and there when you need shade.

The Shelter earrings are handmade polymer clay pieces from the Anam Cara Origins Collection, featuring an embossed Tree of Life design delicately accented with metallic gold. Growth. Protection. Belonging. It's all there in the design. The Drops hang from a hammered gold-plated ear post that adds a touch of rustic warmth, and the Studs offer that same meaningful design in a smaller, everyday size.

Both styles are lightweight, sensitive ear friendly, and crafted from polymer clay — made to be worn as often as you need a reminder that you're not out there alone.

Drops:

• Handmade polymer clay Tree of Life drop earrings with antique metallic gold accents

• Hammered gold-plated ear post

• Approximately 2" long x 1¼" wide

Studs:

• Handmade polymer clay Tree of Life stud earrings with antique metallic gold accents

• Approximately 1" long x 1" wide

Both styles:

• Anam Cara Origins Collection

• Available in 9 colorways: Emerald, Moss, Straw, Ocean, Blue Skye, Sea Mist, Flax, Oat, Sand

• Sensitive ear friendly

• Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear

For the ones who have been your shelter. And the days you need to remember you've also been theirs.

Care & Materials

-------------------------------------

Polymer clay is more durable than it looks — but a little love goes a long way.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

• Keep away from water, perfume, hairspray, and lotions — put your jewelry on last

• Clean gently with a soft dry cloth

• Avoid dropping on hard surfaces

• Each piece is finished with a protective coating to preserve color and shine

All earring findings are hypoallergenic — either stainless steel, sterling silver, or 14K, 18K, or 24K gold plated — making them safe and comfortable for sensitive ears.

Made With Love

-------------------------------------

Every piece in the Anam Cara Clay Goods shop is handmade by me, Julie, in my studio in Virginia. I work in small batches — which means your jewelry was made with intention, not mass-produced on an assembly line.

Because each piece is made by hand, there may be slight natural variations in color, texture, or detail from what you see in the photos. These aren't flaws — they're fingerprints. Proof that a real person made something just for you.

If you ever have a question about your piece or just want to share how you're wearing it, I genuinely love hearing from my customers. You can find me on Instagram @anamcaraclaygoods.
