It captures the beauty and exquisite detail of nature using soft patinas on bronze accented with pearls, beads, stones, and more. His attention to intricate detail results in true to nature, botanical jewelry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis unique jewelry is made by creating 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, Michael Michaud instead uses an actual leaf, branch, or flower in 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMichael Michaud Jewelry is renowned for its beauty and workmanship and is featured in the finest museums, galleries, and specialty retailers around the world. Many collections are commissioned by leading museums such as The Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum, The Art Institute of Chicago, The National Gallery of Art, and the Château de Versailles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"blushing-rose-post-drop-earrings","title":"Blushing Rose Post Drop Earrings (Final Sale)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore roses were bred for uniformity — before they became gas-station flowers in cellophane — they were wild, imperfect, and devastating. The old garden roses of seventeenth-century Dutch still lifes had petals that blushed unevenly, curled at the edges, and caught light in ways that made painters obsessive. Rachel Ruysch spent decades trying to capture that particular glow — the way a rose holds color differently at its center than at its rim, as if the bloom itself were breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Michaud works from that same impulse. Based in New York State, he casts directly from real botanical specimens, preserving every crease and curl of an actual petal in hand-patinated bronze. Nothing is stylized or simplified. The result is a kind of sculptural fidelity that most jewelry never attempts — each piece carrying the precise organic geometry of the plant it came from. The glass beads at the center of these earrings sit like morning dew pooling in a half-open bloom, adding just enough translucence to make the bronze feel alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoses cast from roses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe petals are rendered in hand-patinated bronze with warm gold tones, and the posts are sterling silver — hypoallergenic and nickel-free. At 1.5 inches long and just under an inch wide, they have the proportions of an actual bud: intimate but unmistakable. Each earring weighs 4 grams, giving them a gentle, grounded presence on the ear without any heaviness. These are final sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted by Michael Michaud.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Michaud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43306485055535,"sku":"029-E-10005","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/1065\/8863\/files\/5CD40DA3-EBBF-44C2-A972-DB1CD2C42D22.jpg?v=1731800095"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/1065\/8863\/collections\/4D271650-1984-4633-ACAA-143087B1D72F.jpg?v=1731816636","url":"https:\/\/haroldandhazel.live\/collections\/michael-michaud.oembed","provider":"Harold \u0026 Hazel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
