his 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.

Peach blossoms have long been associated with love, romance, and prosperity. In ancient Chinese poetry and art, peach blossoms were often used as a symbol of feminine beauty and elegance. They are also considered to be a symbol of spring and the renewal of life. The sight of the delicate pink flowers is seen as a sign of the end of winter and the beginning of a new season.
