1 1/4 inch Pansy
Clip-back earrings

The Rose may get all of the credit, but it is the Pansy which Shakespeare chose in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as the flower whose nectar made for a potent love potion that would, "make a man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees."

An ode to love itself, these beautiful, hand-etched gold earrings are the perfect gift—whether for someone you love or a loving gift for yourself—especially so, given how difficult it is to find well-designed clip-ons. The model for these multi-faceted flower earrings is the pansy (often referred to as viola or violet, too). It is the official flower of February, the sign of Aquarius, the sign of love and adoration. Pansies flush into color at the first sign of spring, and these earrings are like having genuine flowers clipped to your ear: a brilliant burst of spring.

Those with long hair will want to updo or hold it back to show off these brilliant earrings that pop against spring hues such as grassy green or pale pink.

Pansies are edible, with a subtle green minty taste. Jewelry designer Janet Mavec scatters the petals atop a white-frosted cake for a floral surprise.

Pansies symbolize adoration and loyalty to a person. They make an outstanding love gift, especially for those women and men who find roses cliché.
