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.

Lavender is a stunning member of many herb gardens and showcases its sweeping drifts of purple hue from early summer into fall. With its silvery-green foliage, upright flower spikes and lovely, fragrant aroma, lavender makes for the perfect addition to floral bouquets and arrangements. Lavender is valued for its healing properties, which can often be found in soaps and oils.
