What a Pretty Pair – Sterling Silver Dragonfly Earrings!
How many pairs of unique sterling silver dragonfly earrings can one woman own? Or for that matter, how many a dragonfly pendant can she have? If you ask me, there aren’t enough in the world to actually saturate my jewelry box (or should I say jewelry closet). I’ve been collecting silver dragonfly jewelry for over 30 years, and I still find some that I can’t seem to live without. My husband thinks I’m a little over- the- top with my collecting, so I constantly have to remind him that I do not like diamonds, and I prefer silver over gold jewelry.
Having said all that, I have to admit another thing. Not only do I collect dragonfly earrings, but all kinds of other sterling silver earrings. I mostly like handmade sterling silver earrings that have something interesting, pretty and whimsical about them. I like the kind that have the French wires much more than the silver stud earrings, which for some strange reason seem to make my ear lobes itch after wearing them for more than a couple hours.
I imagine I’ll be ordering earrings when I’m 90 years old and living in a nursing home!
