Gold-Plated Vintage Earrings with Cat’s Eye Resin — for Insecure Days

Emotion: Insecure. These earrings hold a quiet kind of strength. The cat’s eye resin reflects shifting light — like the way your self-worth sometimes flickers in and out of focus. The vintage glass and gentle gold finish aren’t loud or attention-seeking, but they remind you: you’re allowed to be fragile, and still precious.

Role: You’re someone who often doubts if you’re enough — in your job, your relationships, or just standing in a crowd. You overthink, hide your feelings well, but crave something — even a small symbol — that says, you’re doing okay.

You put them on before a date you’re nervous about. Or before walking into a room full of people where you feel like you don’t belong. Or maybe you gift them to a friend who’s been dimming her light to make others comfortable — as a quiet promise that she doesn’t have to.

My Story: I made these on a day I didn’t feel enough. The cat’s eye shimmer reminded me of how I always second-guess myself, but how light always finds its way back in — even if only in small glints. These earrings don’t scream confidence. They whisper "I’m trying" — and sometimes that’s more than enough.

“You’re not broken — you’re becoming.”
