Blue Violet Wire Earring

$78

The common blue violet is admired by many with its recognizable petite petals that range from a deep purple to an off-white hue. This delicate flower has been mentioned as a symbol of love and modesty in the works of many iconic poets such as Shakespeare, Christina Rossetti and Sappho. We all know the timeless phrase, “Roses are red, violets are blue...”

 Materials: The Blue Violet earrings are cast in hand painted bronze with deep blue cast glass flowers. The posts are 925 silver.

Measures: 1.56" L x 0.86" W

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.

Artist Michael Michaud attended the Rochester Institute of Technology's prestigious school for American craftsmen, where he studied under designers Hans Christenson and Gary Griffin and became a master in the creation and manipulation of molds. After graduating in 1980, Michael Michaud continued to perfect his craft while working under jewelry designers in the New York City area. In 1991, he found himself working in New York City's flower district and living in the beautiful Connecticut countryside - his love of the natural beauty that surrounded him began to blend with his passion for creating jewelry which lead to the birth of Michael Michaud Jewelry.

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