I love orchids but they don’t really love me back. Though my big claim to fame was actually getting one of those $20 supermarket orchids to actually bloom after the initial flower had died. Bloomed once. But hey … I consider it a huge accomplishment!

If you love orchids, these sterling silver earrings by Clara Saldarriaga can give you their delicate blooms year round with no fear of imminent plant mortality. These are hand-made in Colombia and measure 1.5 mm. They sell for USD $299.
