Description
Real Queen Anne's lace, printed with sunlight on maple wood.
Each pair begins with real Queen Anne's lace, arranged by hand and exposed to the sun using the historic cyanotype process. The plant blocks the light, leaving a pale lace silhouette against deep blue. Every flower is different, so no two pairs are identical. Afterward, they're sealed and ready for everyday wear.
The circle shape gives the botanical details room to spread across the wood, echoing the rounded form of the flower head. These earrings have the impact of a statement earring and remain very lightweight and comfortable to wear.
Each pair comes with a herbarium-inspired botanical card.
Materials:
- sterling silver ear wires
- maple wood
Fun fact: Queen Anne's lace sometimes grows a single dark purple floret at the center of its flower cluster, sometimes called the fairy-seat.
