Michael Michaud Ivy Wire Earrings

Ivy is an evergreen climbing plant that either creeps along the ground or reaches upwards onto structures and trees. It’s an important provider to different spices as it provides food year round and shelter. The clinging nature of ivy makes it a symbol of love and friendship; it is also viewed as a symbol of the eternal life of the soul after death due to how it clings to dead trees and remains green.

Material: Ivy is cast in bronze with a hand-patina finish accented in freshwater pearls. Ear wires are sterling silver.

Measures: .5 x .5" 

About Michael Michaud Jewelry
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, coral and stones. His exacting attention to detail gives you true to nature, botanical jewelry.

This 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 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 speciality 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.

Each piece of Michael Michaud Jewelry is handcrafted in New York, U.S.A
