Detailed description
Pin "Orange Blossom"
Michael Michaud captures the beauty of nature with his work. He creates detailed, true-to-life botanical jewellery. Each piece is made by hand. Similar to a Lost-Wax-Process, the designer uses moulds that have been taken directly from the botany.
For centuries, the orange blossom has symbolised purity, innocence, chastity and fertility. In 1684, Louis XIV moved from Fontainebleau to Versailles and established his orangery there, as he was so fond of the sweet fragrance and the wonderful white blossoms. Hand-patinated bronze with freshwater pearls. Size 3.8 x 4.4 cm (l/w).
About Michael Michaud
For the jewellery artist Michael Michaud, who lives and works in New York, nature itself is the greatest modeller. To him, every leaf and every blossom is a tiny miracle and an expression of filigree beauty. Travelling all over the world, the goldsmith collects natural materials in order to subsequently transform them into jewellery collections.
Many of his collections are commissioned by leading museums, such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago or the National Gallery of Art in the USA or the Château de Versailles in France.
