There is a lovely realism to Edelweiss Flower Necklace, which translates edelweiss flowers into jewelry without smoothing away the details that make the plant itself interesting. Instead of sculpting nature from memory, Michaud works from the real thing. Botanical specimens are used to create the mold itself, preserving the little twists, veins and imperfections that make each design feel alive. It is the kind of piece that rewards a closer look, with the craftsmanship serving the plant rather than overpowering it. Each one is handcrafted in New York.
