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.

Being cultivated and native to China for thousands of years, peach blossoms are typically pink with a delicate and sweet fragrance. They are associated with love, romance, and prosperity. A symbol of spring and renewal of life, the sight of the delicate pink flowers is seen as a sign of the end of winter.
