Michael Michaud Clover Bracelet

Clover (Trifolium) is a genus of about 300 species of plants in the pea family having three leaves and dense heads of small flowers. They are ecologically important as they fix nitrogen in the soil. Clover is a source of nectar for honeybees and a food source for some butterflies. And maybe there’s one with a fourth leaf.

The Clover leaves are cast in hand patinated bronze.

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.
