The Japanese Firethorn earrings take inspiration from the shrub in spring, when small white flowers appear among its glossy evergreen leaves. The contrast between fresh foliage and delicate blossom gives the plant a softer, lighter character at this time of year, bringing a sense of seasonal freshness to the design.

Each earring features a slender branching form cast in bronze, with finely textured leaves framing small freshwater pearls that suggest the firethorn’s white flowers. Green hand patination adds natural colour to the foliage, while the pearls introduce a soft luminosity. The elongated drop allows the design to move gently when worn, giving these Japanese Firethorn earrings an elegant, airy presence.

Materials: The Japanese Firethorn earrings are cast in hand patinated bronze with our signature green hand patinated finish, accented with white freshwater pearls. The wires are 925 silver with a 24kt gold plating.

Measures: 1.2" L x 0.51" W

Botanical Jewellery by Michael Michaud

The Michael Michaud Jewellery Collection, designed by Michael Michaud, is a world renowned collection of botanical jewellery. It captures the beauty and exquisite detail of nature using soft patinas on bronze accented with pearls, beads, glass and semi-precious stones. His exacting attention to detail gives you true to nature, botanical jewellery.

About our Jewellery

Our unique jewellery is made by creating moulds directly from botanical elements in a process similar to lost-wax casting. While traditional lost-wax casting begins with a hand-carved model of wax, Michael Michaud uses an actual leaf, branch or flower in place of the wax model. A mould is created around the botanical element and as it is heated the plant matter burns away and leaves behind a beautifully detailed mould of itself.

Portrait:

Michael Michaud

Artist Michael Michaud attended the Rochester Institute of Technology's prestigious school for American craftsmen, where he studied under designers Hans Christenson and Gary Griffin and became a master in the creation and manipulation of moulds. After graduating in 1980, Michael Michaud continued to perfect his craft while working under jewellery designers in the New York City area.

In 1991, he found himself working in New York City's flower district and living in the beautiful Connecticut countryside - his love of the natural beauty that surrounded him began to blend with his passion for creating jewellery which lead to the birth of Michael Michaud Jewellery.
