The butter daisy is a flowering plant celebrated for its abundance of small daisy-like flowers. For these stunning earrings, the flowers of the daisy are cast in 24k gold plated bronze and accented with white freshwater pearls, embellished with gold leaf and amber-colored cast glass centers. Finished with french wire backings. This unique jewelry is made by creating molds directly from botanical elements in a process similar to lost-wax casting. While traditional lost-wax casting begins with a hand-carved model of wax, Michael Michaud instead uses an actual leaf, branch or flower in place of the wax model. Michael Michaud Jewelry is handcrafted in New York, NY, and is renowned for its beauty and workmanship. Measures 2 x .6 in.
