The Vera Wang Love Collection includes a pair of patented flower earrings. The US design patent USD537751S1 titled Flower earing set was awarded for this piece.
As a reminder a US design patent is different from a US utility patent, in that:
“a “utility patent” protects the way an article is used and works (35 U.S.C. 101), while a "design patent" protects the way an article looks (35 U.S.C. 171)” (USPTO)
The patent figure drawing, together with a picture of the marketed piece are included below.
