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.

Myrtle Flowers are born in summer and autumn in panicles of crinkled flowers with crepe-like texture. Colors vary from deep purple to red to white, with almost every shade in between. Flowering Myrtles can fill every landscape need, from tidy street trees to dense barrier hedges. It is common in Southern France, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and in milder climates in the US. These earrings are cast in hand patinated bronze and accented with white freshwater pearls.
