About Emeralds and Panjshir Valley Emeralds

Emeralds are among the rarest precious stones that earth has to offer - and they are rare for a reason. Only exact geological conditions produce the finest emeralds. Two of the rarest earth elements, beryllium from the high continents and chromium from the seabed must collide under the perfect nexus of pressure, moisture and blast furnace temperatures to create these exquisite treasures. The Panjshir Valley, located in Afghanistan meets those conditions perfectly and offers the most beautiful and stunning green emeralds, comparable with the very finest Colombian emeralds. The purest, boldest “emerald green,” is the careful balance between hue, saturation, and brightness that only the world's best emeralds possess.

Panjshir Valley Emeralds unequivocally offers the best ethically sourced emeralds from the Panjshir Valley. Working with a network of trusted miners and possessing a one-of-a-kind relationship with both the Afghan government and local tribal leaders, Panjshir Valley Emeralds ensures that all of the emeralds adhere to the highest ethical standards of responsible sourcing and fair trade, hence supporting people and country to prosper from the ground they and their families stand on.

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.
