  • Handmade Botanical Jewelry

The Sugar Maple brooch celebrates the richly varied foliage of a tree at its most spectacular in autumn. As the season turns, maple leaves develop a shifting palette of green, gold and copper, creating branches filled with contrasting color and texture. Known for its longevity, the sugar maple has also come to carry associations with resilience, steadfastness and connections that endure through change.

A textured green hand-patinated bronze branch supports a cascading arrangement of maple leaves, bringing the natural structure of the tree into the design. Green patination, copper leaf and 24k gold plating recreate the varied tones of autumn foliage while highlighting the detail of each leaf. The spreading branch and freely hanging leaves give this Sugar Maple brooch a strong botanical presence, creating a beautiful accent on jackets, coats, scarves and other favorite pieces.

Materials: The Sugar Maple brooch is cast in hand patinated bronze with a green hand patinated finish, accented with a 24kt gold plating and copper leaf.

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.
