Dogwood Blossom Earrings

$95.00 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Art earrings inspired by The Met collection. These elegant earrings reference the striking pink and white dogwood blossoms painted onto an 1882 vase by ceramic artist John Bennett (British, 1840–1907). Upon immigrating to the United States in 1877, Bennett became instrumental in bringing the Aesthetic movement to America. His lush floral motifs exemplified Aestheticism's famous "art for art's sake" philosophy. Read our blog post here to learn more about the artwork behind our jewelry.
