Michael Michaud

Cast bronze with silver and copper highlight finish.

The Michael Michaud Jewelry Collection is a world-renowned collection of botanical jewelry. It captures the beauty and exquisite detail of nature using soft patinas on bronze accented with pearls, beads, coral, and stones. His exacting attention to detail gives you true to nature, botanical jewelry. This unique jewelry is made by casting molds directly from botanical elements in a process similar to lost-wax casting. While traditional lost-wax casting begins with a hand-carved model of wax, Michaud uses an actual leaf, branch or flower in the place of the wax model. A mold is created around the botanical element and as it is heated the plant matter burns away and leaves behind a beautifully detailed mold of itself.
