There is a lovely realism to Nasturtium Dangle Wire Earrings, which translates nasturtium leaves and flowers 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. 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. Bronze with gold accents.
