This unique jewelry is made by creating molds directly from botanical elements, similar to lost wax casting. While traditional lost-wax casting begins with a hand-carved wax model, Michael Michaud uses an actual leaf, branch, or flower instead 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.

Care:

• Avoid moisture & chemicals – Keep pieces away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, or harsh cleaners. Remove before swimming or bathing.
• Store properly – Place jewelry in a dry pouch or box to prevent scratches and reduce exposure to air (which can dull patinas).
• Gentle cleaning only – Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Never use abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths, as they may damage the patina finish.
• Handle pearls & stones with care – Pearls and glass accents are delicate, so avoid dropping or knocking pieces against hard surfaces.
