Make A Statement With Blossoms Flower Earrings

I was so excited when my pair of Blossoms Flower Earrings arrived in the mail. Created by kaRIN for her Saints and Sinners/Alter collection, these unique statement pieces will undoubtedly get tons of attention and are great conversation starters. 

Blossoms: Incredibly Fun Earrings

kaRIN, designer for KBD Studio/Alter and vocalist for Collide, has unveiled her latest creation – Blossoms Flower Earrings. These adorable earrings are light, easy to wear, and will get tons of attention!

Each set ships in a special gift box, with the words "Imagination/Inspiration" on a small piece of paper inside each earring, along with a little succulent plant (Dragon's Blood Sedum Spurium). They are great for every day wear, parties, or any special occasion, and you can refill them with any small plant or flower. Blossoms are available in either pierced or clip on and can be purchased as a pair or a single earring. Enjoy! – NIN 

Alter – Handmade With Art And Soul

When she’s not creating music with her partner Statik for their band Collide, the lovely and talented kaRIN designs jewelry, t-shirts, and handmade leather accessories that are edgy, hip, and oh so chic.

I’ve been a long-time fan and supporter of Karin’s artistic work in both music and fashion, so I was excited when I heard she launched a retail site where people worldwide can purchase her exquisitely designed products.
