I have had my eye on these massive earrings for a while, they are from a local high-end consignment shop. I finally acquired them after much consideration due to the price. I just could not stop thinking about them! They are so detailed, real works of art. The perfect rhinestones are placed on a flower sculpture, wrapping each curved petal. Multi color glass is sprung on metal wire at the center.
I dove into the designer Iradj Moini-
"Iradj Moini pieces exemplify world-class craftsmanship with fun to wear and enchanting designs. Each piece begins with the best base materials, with semi-precious stones from the finest provenance. No two pieces of our jewelry are alike, as they are all handmade in our Manhattan studio, and take weeks to create."
These are massive and not for the faint of heart when it comes to clip ons. I am used to clip ons. These are tight, due to the weight they have to be. But they are stunning!

Iradj Moini -
Iradj Moini has designed jewelry in New York since 1989. Fleeing Iran during the revolution, his passion for jewelry and search for the extravagant and sophisticated woman led him to the city of big dreams after his degree in architecture in Buffalo.
By the late 1980s, his eye-catching designs walked the runway for Oscar de la Renta, where he creatively designed and directed the catwalk jewelry for a decade. He soon built a reputation as one of the most imaginative and visionary designers of his era.
With worldwide collectors and fans alike, his jewelry has been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as part of Iris Apfel’s collection, as well as being featured in the Trop Exhibit with Barbara Berger at the Louvre in Paris where he now has three pieces in their permanent collections. Ever since bridging out on his own, Iradj’s creations quickly developed a prestigious clientele and, through considerable demand, has reached retailers around the globe, like specialty store Bergdorf Goodman. - Iradjmoini.com
