Why We Named Them Cotton Candy Skies

There’s a certain moment in the day that feels like it was made just for remembering.

It happens right before the sun disappears – when the blue of the sky softens, the air cools just a little, and everything seems to slow down without asking permission. The sky turns baby blue, then blushes into light pink and lilac purple, as if someone gently stirred cotton candy into the clouds.

That moment is where Cotton Candy Skies comes from.

If you’ve ever stood near the water at sunset, you know how unreal it can feel. The sky reflects off the surface, doubling the color, stretching it out until it feels endless. Buoys bob quietly in the distance, no longer bright and bold like they are at noon, but softened by the evening light. Their rounded shapes catch the last glow of the day, floating under skies that look almost edible.

The earrings take their shape from those familiar buoy forms – simple, rounded, and steady – but their colors tell a different story. Light pink, lilac purple, and baby blue mirror those fleeting sunset skies that only show up for a few minutes before fading into night. The kind of sky you try to photograph, knowing it will never look as good as it did in real life.

They’re the colors of summer evenings that felt endless. Of boardwalks glowing under string lights. Of sticky cotton candy melting on little fingers. Of staying out past dinner because the sky was just too beautiful to leave.

The name Cotton Candy Skies isn’t about sweetness alone – it’s about softness. About that gentle pause between day and night, when everything feels lighter, quieter, and full of possibility. When the world feels wrapped in pastel colors and the future doesn’t feel heavy yet.

These earrings are meant to feel like that moment.
Not loud. Not rushed. Just floating.

They’re for sunset walks, late conversations, and remembering how it felt to lie on your back and watch the clouds change shape until the stars came out. They’re a small reminder that some of the best things don’t last long – but they stay with you anyway.

Just like cotton candy clouds and summer skies.
