For the holidays, we’re continuing our series to shine the spotlight on Maine craftspeople who make products by hand. This week it’s all about locally made wearable gift ideas. Each week, until Dec. 25, we will bring you this series until you can’t take it anymore. Ready. Set. Go.

Karyl’s Jewelry Silver Filigree Earrings

The back story
Karyl and Manny Brown run a dual shop that recently opened this fall in Camden and Karyl’s side of the shop, a jewelry studio, is where she hand-makes all of her jewelry and knitted items. These silver filigree glass pearls earrings caught our eye not only because of their affordable price point, but also because of their delicate, ethereal effect, well suited for a snazzy New Year’s Eve get up.

In their words: “The combination of pearl with the platinum colored filigree reminds me of the gossamer effect of dragonfly wings, almost too delicate to be able to carry the body weight, but surprisingly strong.”

Where to find them/price range
Online: Karyl’s Jewelry  ($15.99 each), Offline: 25 Mechanic Street, Camden
