Michael Michaud nature inspired jewellery
Connecticut jewellery designer Michael A. Michaud became interested in the world of plants as a child. According to him, his parents were passionate gardeners and taught him to love and understand nature. Thus, deciding to become a designer, Michael entered the Rochester Institute of Technology. After graduation, Michael began working with a number of jewelry brands.
In the early 1990s he began creating botanical jewelry under his own name, and used plants as models.
Michaud exhibited his jewellery art at the Washington National Gallery of Art (collection Wisteria), and even in the Louvre. In addition, several areas of London showed the works of “naturalist jeweler”. For instance, Museum of Modern Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum (collection of Morello cherries, or Wild Cherry), and the National Gallery (Collection “Sunflowers”). Indeed, jewelry on the verge of high art. On the one hand, there are semi-precious stones, coral, pearls, glass; and on the other hand, the metal seems to be not the most expensive – copper and bronze. But the artist with his skill makes it all the jewels.
