Blue and Yellow Mice

A 1910 Dresden music box lid with faded ballerina painting.

These tiny mouse earrings originated from a _1960s-era carnival prize pendant_, its once-gaudy surface worn smooth by countless hands. Tatjana Kreiner has salvaged the original rhinestone eyes and reimagined the mouse form in hand-painted enamel, adding tiny polka dots and a delicate gold chain. The result is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind miniature, its bright blue and yellow hues evoking the promise of a summer fair.

Resin mouse earrings feature gold-painted, polka-dotted mice with rhinestone eyes.
