Retro-folk Earrings That Stole My Heart (But Not My Everyday Style)
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently discovered the Fiore di Firenze jewelry brand, which boasts a high-end reputation for its unique and intricate designs. I was intrigued by their 'retro-folk' style earrings, but the hefty price tag made me wonder if they're worth the splurge. The earrings I tried feature a mix of materials, including metal and other elements, which adds a touch of sophistication to the overall look. While they're undeniably eye-catching, I'm not sure if they're suitable for everyday wear. The brand's focus on quality and craftsmanship is evident in the build quality, but the price point might be a turn-off for some. I'll share my thoughts on the pros and cons below.

I recently found myself drawn to the Fiore di Firenze jewelry brand, which I'd written about in a previous review here.
This time, I want to share my thoughts on the earrings.
As I dug into the brand, I discovered that they position themselves as 'high-end jewelry,' which is evident from a quick Google search.
The price point for these non-gold earrings is quite telling, if you ask me.
Where to buy, price
You can currently find these earrings on the Poison Drop website, as well as in a few other online stores.
Check them out here and here.
The price for these earrings is 9500 rubles.
Description of the model
When I was in elementary school, I wanted to get my mom a gift. I went to this store that sold everything from household items to watches, and I reached out to touch the jewelry display case. The earrings caught my attention – they looked similar to these, but were made of steel, with a blue plastic 'diamond' in the center. They captivated my young mind so much that I spent my entire monthly allowance, which was usually used to buy a bun with jam in the school cafeteria, on them.
I'm pretty sure that's where my excessive spending habits and shopaholic tendencies started. You remember how nice it feels to buy something, when someone listens to you, helps you make a choice, and thanks you for the purchase.
I'm guessing those earrings are probably still with my mom. I don't even remember her wearing them.
Going back to the review, I'd say these earrings resonated with me on a deep level, like the ones I chose from my carefree childhood. I doubt the others were made with such attention to detail.
The top part of the earrings reminds me of heraldic lilies, while the bottom part looks like a fan from the Baroque era.
They're 5 cm tall, not too big, but noticeable.
It's been crafted beautifully (the brand claims it's handmade, which explains the price). There are no defects or flaws on the metal.
And then there's the expectation vs reality.
So, the question is - why do they look darker in person? On the model, the earrings looked gold-plated, but on me, they're more like a dark, almost brown color, with a hint of gold only visible under certain lighting conditions. I guess the product image was heavily edited.
You might wonder where my eyes were during the purchase. Honestly, in a well-lit jewelry store, any earrings can look like a dream come true.
The flip side:
The clasp is your standard screw-back – a ring with notches and stoppers.
Composition (don't ask me anything):
precious metal alloy, nanoceramics
How they fit
I'd say the earrings are pretty comfortable, easy to put on, but the clasp isn't exactly the most secure.
They're really lightweight and don't feel like they're weighing me down on my ears.
However, there's a huge catch: they're not suitable for people with allergies to base metals. I started feeling uncomfortable after about two hours. It's clear that the earrings contain nickel, which I'm allergic to, even in small amounts.
My ears didn't turn red or swell, but I felt uneasy and wanted to take them off ASAP.
This was expected – I didn't buy them for everyday wear.
So, all in all, I won't have too many complaints, but I'll deduct a few points for that.
How they look on me
Here's how the earrings look on me. In bright light, they appear much darker, but in a dimly lit room, the gold plating shows up.
I think they clash with my modern style (although I tried to do a retro-inspired outfit).
Wear and tear
Since I bought them over six months ago, the earrings haven't darkened or shown any other signs of wear. I'd say the quality is good 🙂
Verdict
Although they don't really fit my style, there's something about these lace-like earrings that resonates with me. I won't heavily deduct points for that.
No, I will.
Minus points for the allergy issue.
Minus points for the high price.
But... I'll still wear them. They're more to my liking than my ring counterpart.
That's all, thanks for reading.
