There is a lovely realism to Barberry 16" Adjustable Necklace on Pearl, which translates barberry branches and berries into jewelry without smoothing away the details that make the plant itself interesting. Michaud's process begins with actual botanical elements rather than a hand-carved wax model. A mold is formed around the plant material, which burns away during casting and leaves its fine texture behind. Handcrafted in New York, the finished design feels distinctive while keeping the easy, organic quality of the original plant. Bronze with gold accents and pearl accents.
