Dogwood Post Earrings takes its shape from dogwood blossoms, giving earrings a sculptural, just-picked-from-the-garden quality. Michaud is known for an unusual casting process that starts with real botanical specimens. That direct connection to the plant is what gives the finished jewelry its remarkably natural texture and shape. Handcrafted in New York, the finished piece has plenty of garden personality without feeling precious. Michaud's botanical collections have also been commissioned by major museums, including the Victoria & Albert Museum and the National Gallery of Art. Bronze with gold accents.
