✨The Floralabrae✨ | Long Floral Chandelier Earrings with Faceted Glass Drops

There are flowers in the Faewilde that grow downward.

The Floralabrae begin high in the branches, where small silver blossoms take root in places that have never shown the slightest interest in supporting roots. From beneath each bloom hang three slender buds and a pair of impossibly fine stems, descending until they meet around a single great flower below.

At least, botanists insist it is a flower.

This becomes somewhat difficult to believe once one has seen a mature Floralabrae. Their petals are transparent, sharply faceted, and considerably heavier than petals have any business being. They catch sunlight rather than merely opening toward it, throwing color through the surrounding leaves while the smaller buds above sway independently in the breeze. No one has satisfactorily explained why their stems resemble silver chain, either.

Two varieties have so far been documented.

Rosaverdra grows in the brighter reaches of the Faewilde, with fresh green buds suspended above a great translucent pink bloom. It favors overgrown places where sunlight arrives in fragments, and has a particular habit of appearing among ordinary flowers just as someone has become quite certain they know everything growing in their garden.

Anemoniae prefers cooler, dimmer places. Its smaller blossoms are a smoky blue-gray, while the great flower beneath them deepens into clear cobalt. The silver flower at its crown bears an uncanny resemblance to the dark-centered blue anemones found elsewhere, though whether one inspired the other is a question best avoided around Faewilde botanists. They have opinions.

Attempts to cultivate either variety have been largely unsuccessful. Fortunately, Floralabrae seem perfectly capable of deciding for themselves where they belong.

Not every blossom reaches for the sun.

Care Note:

Keep dry and store hanging to prevent the fine chains from tangling; handle the large glass drops by their metal findings rather than pulling on the chainwork, and use the included polishing cloth gently on the metal components.

We would specifically recommend hanging storage for these. Putting all those chains loose into a jewelry box is an invitation for the Floralabrae to develop an entirely new root system overnight.
