Queen Anne's Lace Cluster Earrings

These earrings are so special not just because of their shape (which is, admittedly, gorgeous), but because they're a unique combination of sparkle and…matte. They remind me of a snowy morning in the woods, with the sun sparkling on snow-covered branches and everything twinkling in the light.

They're modeled after Queen Anne's Lace, a wildflower you've probably walked past a hundred times. Michael Michaud casts his jewelry from real plants, so every tiny detail of the bloom is captured in bronze, then finished with a hand-applied patina and a dusting of crystal (hence, the sparkles) Each piece is handcrafted in New York.
