The bristly raspberry shrub, which grows in the cool northern regions of the United States, is the bearer of fragrant and decorative berries. The delicate raspberry leaf has been revered by herbalists of many cultures through the ages for its therapeutic and medicinal uses.

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.
