William Morris Orchard Pattern Earrings

These William Morris Orchard Pattern earrings are art-inspired by William Morris's acanthus leaf pattern. Featuring teardrop earrings with his iconic botanical and nature-inspired patterns make a beautiful, museum-quality gift and accessory for William Morris fans, art lovers, gardeners, and anyone who loves botanical jewelry.

Acanthus leaves were a pervasive motif in William Morris's work. His associate, John Henry Dearle, took them and added a vertical element in the fruit tree trunks to create the pattern Orchard. It is reminiscent of the embroidered wall hangings designed by Dearle and Morris's younger daughter, May, in the late 1890's.
