Saints Mary and Martha Biblical Leather Earrings
These biblical leather earrings use a single design with different color combinations inspired by Saint Mary and Saint Martha of Bethany from the Gospels of Luke and John. Pick your favorite or get them both! Measurements: 2.5” long x 0.25” wide Earring materials: - Veg tan leather (a true leather) hand dyed and painted and laser cut - Stainless steel hardware - Earrings come on a cardboard earring card with silicone bullet clutch backs - Earring pieces and assembly made by hand in the USA (in Central Texas) Inspiration: - Both: The gold represents their holiness or Sainthood. The brown represents their simplicity in living holy lives as lay women in the world. Then it splits from there. - The St. Mary is the earring with a turquoise piece. I chose turquoise because blues are calming colors. The peace of the moment when she sits at the feet of Jesus listening speaks to me in this soft color. - The St. Martha is the earring with the rose pink piece. I chose rose because reds and pinks are more emotional colors. St. Martha is not afraid to speak her mind and has a much more spirited personality. Plan ahead: the feast of Sts. Mary, Martha, and Lazarus is July 29.
