Like tiny works of modern sculpture, these Branch lacy leaf earrings exude an earthy, casual sense of style. The blackened sterling silver leaves are subtly curved and dangle from sterling silver ear wires. Shimmering white diamonds are set within the drops for an eye-catching element of contrast and sparkle. They are the perfect everyday earrings for someone who appreciates understated, quiet design, but craves a little bit of edge.

Venice, CA - After a long, left-brained detour following her start as an art major, Michele Scholnick returned to design and found herself captivated by a wax as a sculpture medium. Her line, Branch, which today includes both fine jewelry and bronze decorative objects, is influenced by all things nature, from the pristine to the decayed, and is characterized in some instances by a soft minimalism, and in others, the use of painstakingly applied texture. Michele carves the pieces by hand, mostly in the middle of the night and with lots of help from her two dogs.
