14K Gold Butterfly Stud Earrings - Polished | Origami Collection

For each pair of 14k yellow gold butterfly earrings sold, $100 will be donated to Wings Pediatric Hospice Program through Children’s Hospital St. Louis.

The Wings Pediatric Hospice Program, through Children’s Hospital St. Louis, provides compassionate care and support to children facing life-limiting conditions and to their families. Wings offers comfort, dignity, and specialized services during some of the most tender and difficult moments a family can experience. It is a local program rooted in service, connection, and care for our community.

This cause matters deeply to the team at Adam Foster Fine Jewelry. The butterfly itself is a symbol of transformation and hope. Supporting Wings allows this design to carry meaning far beyond its craftsmanship. When you choose these earrings, you are helping extend care, comfort, and encouragement to families in and around St. Louis during times they need it most. That connection between beauty and benevolence is part of what makes this piece meaningful in every sense.

These 14K Yellow Gold Butterfly Stud earrings are a study in miniature architecture. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, each butterfly is hand-formed and polished from solid 14K yellow gold in our Frontenac studio. By applying traditional origami principles to precious metal, we create a sense of movement and "flutter" through precise, geometric folds.

The refined, smooth finish highlights the clean lines of the wings, making them a modern staple. Because they are crafted from solid gold rather than plated materials, they are designed to be worn daily as a meaningful symbol of transformation.

This design is currently crafted in 14k yellow gold. Because we create each piece in-house, we may be able to explore rose gold or white gold upon request. If you are interested in a different metal type, our team is happy to discuss custom options.

Yes. Though they are delicate and dainty in appearance, they are made from solid 14k yellow gold and finished by experienced jewelers. They are designed for daily wear and are comfortable for most standard ear piercings. If you are accustomed to wearing gold studs, huggie styles, or even small hoop earrings, these will feel lightweight and easy.

This specific design focuses on sculpted gold rather than gemstones. There is no mother-of-pearl or birthstone detail in the standard version. However, because we are a maker-led studio, custom variations incorporating small diamonds, birthstone accents, or other materials may be possible.

Each pair is crafted from solid 14k yellow gold, not sterling silver, and not gold-plated. The earrings are lightweight, dainty, and secured with standard posts and backs. Because they are handcrafted, subtle variations make each tiny butterfly slightly unique. For full product details, including dimensions and approximate carat weight of gold, our team can provide specifics upon request.

The patterned butterfly is currently offered as butterfly stud earrings within the Origami Collection. We have also created other interpretations over time, including drop earrings and sculptural pieces. If you are interested in a butterfly pendant, ear cuffs, or alternative formats, we are open to custom design conversations. If you are also considering coordinating pieces such as a ring, we are happy to help you determine the correct ring sizing separately.

Because these are handcrafted in solid 14k yellow gold, they are priced as fine gold jewelry rather than fashion jewelry. The regular price reflects the time-intensive folding technique and in-house craftsmanship. They are not mass-produced and not plated, which contributes to their long-term value.

Yes. These earrings are covered under our studio warranty for craftsmanship, protecting against defects, structural issues, or loose posts. If you notice any concerns, please contact us for inspection and repair.
