Petunia Earrings Instructions Designed by Cynthia Kimura
Fun and flirty, these earrings have a subtle floral motif enhanced by a rich color palette. Wear them to accent your favorite sundress this summer, and as the weather becomes cooler, they'll become one of your favorite accessories with your sweaters this fall.
