Seahorses are marine fish belonging to the genus Hippocampus and of the family Syngnathidae. They are found in temperate and tropical waters all over the world. Seahorses are notable for the fact that the male becomes “pregnant”. It has a dorsal fin located on the lower body and pectoral fins located on the head near the gills. The eyes are highly mobile to watch for predators and prey without moving its body. As they are slow eaters, in an aquarium, they should be kept to themselves.

Materials: The Seahorse earrings are cast in bronze with gold tones of 24ct. gold over silver plate.

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.
