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.

Myosotis, more commonly known as Forget Me Not has a rich history and meaning behind its humble appearance. It grows an abundance of small blue flowers that have become a symbol of remembrance of true and undying love. The common name "forget-me-not" was derived from the German Vergissmeinnicht.  These Forget Me Not earrings are cast in hand patinated bronze with pale blue glass flowers and 24kt gold plated pollen stems.
