Lily Pad Earrings Collection
John S. Brana’s latest Muir Woods Lily Pad earring collection features beautiful, lightweight, and colorful pieces inspired by none other than Mother Nature.
Reminiscent of leaves one would find floating on the surface of a pond, reflective in their hand-crafted shape and unique in their coloring, the earrings are classified as works of art available at accessible price points. The pieces vary in size as well, including two and three-inch single leaf earrings, as well as one-inch single leaves and three-tiered designs.
Lily pads are part of the Nymphaeaceae family of plants and are very unique in the Plant Kingdom. A lily pad grows very slender roots that attach to the soil inside of ponds and lakes in shallow areas. The plant actually grows on the surface of the water with large, flat leaves that capture sunlight to power photosynthesis and allow the plants to make food. Flowers grow on tops of the lily pads for the purpose of fertilization. There is nothing quite like the sight of lily pads floating at the water's edge, and that lovely, special vision has inspired a whole line of earrings in the John S. Brana Muir Woods Handmade Jewelry collection.

How to Choose Lily Pad Earrings
Lily pad earrings come in three sizes and a wide colour range. Size decides where you can wear them; colour decides what they go with.
| Option | What it is | Who it suits | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small, 1 3/4 inches | Compact leaf shapes | Office and everyday wear | Whether the colour is workplace appropriate |
| Medium, 2 1/2 inches | The middle size | Day to evening wear | Neckline and hair length |
| Large, 3 inches | Full statement leaves | Events, festivals and bold daily style | Nothing on weight, since aluminum stays light |
| Anodized colours | Colour sealed into the metal | Anyone who wears colour | Which shades appear in your wardrobe |
Criteria that matter most
- Weight – aluminum lets you wear a 3 inch leaf all day with no pull on the lobe
- Colour permanence – anodised colour will not chip, fade or peel
- Neutrals – pewter gray and plain aluminum suit wardrobes where bright colour would not

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What sizes do the lily pad earrings come in?
Three: small at around 1 3/4 inches, medium at around 2 1/2 inches and large at around 3 inches long by 2 inches wide.
Q2. Are the large ones heavy?
No. They are made from anodized aluminum, which weighs a fraction of brass or copper, so even the 3 inch size is comfortable all day.
Q3. Will the anodized colour fade?
No. Anodizing seals the colour into the surface of the metal rather than coating it, so it cannot chip, flake or fade.
Q4. Which colour is the most versatile?
Pewter gray, which behaves as a neutral and pairs with silver, black, navy and denim without clashing.
