The beauty of Strawberry Dainty Wire Earrings is in the details. The shape and texture of strawberries and leaves stay recognizable, turning a familiar bit of nature into wearable art. 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. Michaud's botanical collections have also been commissioned by major museums, including the Victoria & Albert Museum and the National Gallery of Art. Wire earring style.
