Victorian Vine Wire Earrings draws on the curling vines and ornamental garden details of the Victorian era, interpreted in the richly textured botanical style Michael Michaud is known for. Michael Michaud creates his molds directly from real leaves, branches and flowers, using a process related to lost-wax casting. The original plant matter disappears in the heat, but its veins, edges and surface detail remain in the finished form. Handcrafted in New York, the finished design feels distinctive while keeping the easy, organic quality of the original plant. Bronze with gold accents and pearl accents.
