These annuals prefer cool weather and mature early. The "peas" inside the pod are considered berries by botanists. Common folklore regarding the peas warns that if you count the number of peas in a pod the crop will fail.

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.
