The Forget-Me-Not has a rich history and meaning behind its humble appearance. Its small blue flowers have become a symbol of remembrance of true and undying love. A German myth surrounding the plant tells of two lovers walking along the Danube River and seeing the bright blue blossoms. As the man picked the flowers for his lover, he was swept away by the river and called out to her not to forget him as he floated away.

Michael Michaud creates his unique jewelry using a technique similar to lost-wax casting, creating molds directly from botanical elements such as leaves, branches, and flowers. His work is internationally recognized and featured at cultural institutions worldwide.

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.
