  • Handmade Botanical Jewellery

The Sugar Maple earrings distil the beauty of changing autumn foliage into a particularly simple form. Maple leaves are recognised for their deeply lobed shape and the warm seasonal colour that develops as summer gives way to autumn. Their yearly cycle of transformation and return has also connected the maple with ideas of renewal, resilience and continuity.

A single smaller textured maple leaf forms each post earring, allowing the natural surface and familiar silhouette of the foliage to take centre stage. Warm autumn finishes highlight the leaf detail while keeping the composition beautifully uncomplicated. Compact and understated, these Sugar Maple earrings bring the character of the collection into an easy everyday style, making them a subtle way to wear botanical jewellery without losing the craftsmanship and natural detail of the original leaf.

Materials: The Sugar Maple earrings are cast in hand patinated bronze with a brown patina and 24kt gold plating and copper leaf finish. The posts are 925 silver.

Measures: 0.75" L x 0.41" 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.
