Cast bronze with a 24k gold finish. Accented with peacock pearls. 16 inches with 2-inch extension. By famous botanical jewelry designer Michael Michaud. It captures the beauty and exquisite detail of nature using soft patinas on bronze. Made by creating molds directly from botanical elements in a process similar to lost-wax casting. Michael Michaud 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. Michael Michaud Jewelry is renowned for its beauty and workmanship and is featured in the finest museums, galleries, and specialty retailers around the world. Many collections are commissioned by leading museums such as The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Art Institute of Chicago, The National Gallery of Art, and the Château de Versailles. Packaged in a pretty gold gift box.
