  • Handmade Botanical Jewelry

The Japanese Firethorn earrings draw on the graceful spring growth of this evergreen shrub, when tiny white flowers appear among glossy leaves. Gathered along branching stems, the delicate blossom brings a fresh softness to the dense foliage and highlights a quieter side of a plant often recognized for its colorful autumn berries.

Finely textured bronze leaves follow a gently curved stem to create an elegant teardrop silhouette suspended from the post. Freshwater pearls are nestled among the foliage, recalling the small white flower clusters, while green patinated tones bring natural depth to the bronze. The open, elongated shape gives these Japanese Firethorn earrings a light and sculptural appearance, with the pearl accents adding softness and luminosity around the face.

Materials: The Japanese Firethorn earrings are cast in hand patinated bronze with our signature green hand patinated finish, accented with white freshwater pearls. The posts are 925 silver.

Measures: 1.3" L x 0.86" W

Botanical Jewelry by Michael Michaud

The Michael Michaud Jewelry Collection, designed by Michael Michaud, is a world renowned collection of botanical jewelry. 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 jewelry.

About our Jewelry

Our unique jewelry is made by creating molds 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 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.

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 molds. After graduating in 1980, Michael Michaud continued to perfect his craft while working under jewelry 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 Jewelry.
