Leaf Earrings: Embracing Nature's Beauty

Simple and Essential Elegance

These earrings are a testament to the beauty found in simplicity. Crafted from a single continuous piece of metal delicately folded, they mimic the contour of a leaf. The metal is subtly textured using the hammering technique, enhancing the play of light and reflections. The Leaf Earrings are available in both a mirror finish and an opaque finish, allowing wearers to choose the aesthetic that resonates with them.

One of the standout features of these earrings is their lightweight design. Not only do they appear light and airy, but they also feel comfortable on the ear, making them perfect for extended wear. The Leaf Earrings are a testament to the designer's commitment to creating jewelry that is both visually appealing and wearable.

Handcrafted with precision and care, the Leaf Earrings can be realized in various metals, including brass, aluminum, sterling silver, or gold. Laura Micheli believes that all metals possess unique qualities that can be highlighted through specific techniques. By offering a range of materials, wearers can choose the metal that best suits their personal style and preferences.

Measuring at 35mm x 2mm x 95mm, the Leaf Earrings are available in variations featuring one or two leaves. This versatility allows individuals to express their individuality and style through their choice of design.

Throughout the design process, Laura Micheli faced two significant challenges. The first was translating an idea, inspiration, image, or thought into a tangible object with a specific function and aesthetic presence. The second challenge was determining when the piece was truly finished and the desired result accomplished. These challenges highlight the meticulous attention to detail and dedication that went into creating the Leaf Earrings.

The Leaf Earrings have garnered recognition for their exceptional design. In 2018, they were awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the earrings' well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, meeting professional and industrial requirements.

With the Leaf Earrings, Laura Micheli has captured the essence of nature's beauty and translated it into a wearable work of art. These earrings serve as a reminder to embrace simplicity and find inspiration in the world around us.
