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.

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant native to the Americas. It possesses a large flowering head, and its name is derived from the flower's shape and image, which is often used to capture the sun.
