Michael Michaud Eucalyptus Leaf Wire Earrings

These earrings are meticulously crafted from cast bronze, boasting a hand patina finish that captures the essence of a real eucalyptus leaf. 2.5 inch drop. A gorgeous set by famous botanical jewelry designer Michael Michaud. While traditional lost-wax casting begins with a hand-carved model of wax, Michael Michaud instead 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 Jewelry is renowned for its beauty and workmanship and is featured in the finest museums, galleries, and specialty retailers around the world. Many collections are commissioned by leading museums such as The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Art Institute of Chicago, The National Gallery of Art, and the Château de Versailles.
