Artisan Glass Waterlily Earrings Jewelry artisan Michael Vincent Michaud has studied extensively with some of America's finest glass artists and institutions and collaborated with his acclaimed father on jewelry collections for museums around the world. Today, Michael combines his knowledge of glass working, his experience in jewelry creation, and his keen sense of design to create colorful works of wearable art. A duo of lily pads are formed from recycled glass, cast by hand with the artist's designer color blend and given a satin finish. The green glass is set into hand-formed bronze surroundings and layered in 24k gold with a matte finish to create a tasteful color combination. A single glass water lily bloom emerges from the lily pads. Though a pink-purple color in natural light conditions, different lighting sources create wonderful color variations in the translucent glass ranging from pink to purple to pale blue. An eye-catching work of wearable art, the earrings measure approximately 1.5" long. Please note: Because the artisan glass is hand-cast and the brass hand-formed, small variations in shape and arrangement are to be expected and adds unique artistic character. ~ Artist-made in the USA ~ size: 0.75" wide x 1.5" long materials: glass , 24k gold over bronze
