In keeping with our mission to bring you the newest and greatest items for the best price, we are making room for new inventory by MaRia Bird (Mea B'Fly) by retiring some of her designs.Mea B'Fly earrings are a great fusion of the powerful past with the energy of today. Each graphic print is made by Bird, starting with a focal background image that she elaborates with other design elements. She hand-produces each earring by adhering the small art prints to a wood base and topping them off with surgical steel earring hooks and jump rings.
The earrings are bright with vivid color patterns, lightweight for a comfortable wear, and glossy with a slick overcoat to protect the design.
Throughout the month of July, we will be retiring a different design each week on a Sunday night at midnight.
