From Michael Michaud: Following the trench warfare of the first World War, which took place in the poppy fields of Flanders, red poppies have become a symbol of rememberance of soldiers who have died during wartime. The use of the poppy was inspired by the poem "In Flanders Field." Red poppies, or artificial ones, are worn on and around the 11th of November, Rememberance Day, to honor them. These earrings are cast in bronze and finished with red cast glass petals and peacock, freshwater pearls.
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.
