Blueberry Post Earrings

From Michael Michaud: Handfuls of tangy berries eaten on the spot make for memories of climbing favorite mountains, of seeing slopes washed with deep blue where blueberry bushes cover the ridges. In addition to their medicinal properties, the fresh springtime leaves make an excellent tea.

The Michael Michaud Design Jewelry Collection captures the beauty and exquisite detail of nature. This unique jewelry is made by creating molds directly from botanical elements in a process similar to lost-wax casting; Michael Michaud uses an actual leaf, branch, or flower in place of a traditional 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.
