About the designer
Birch leaves pendant necklace.

Michael Michaud

Creating moulds directly from nature, Michael Michaud’s exquisitely detailed pieces are made using a process similar to lost-wax casting, with actual plant matter encased, then heated and burnt away. 
Michaud’s natural forms and textures are complemented with soft patinas on bronze, accented with pearls, glass and beads.
