Victorian Vine Necklace by Michael Michaud

The Victorian era gave life to many gardens based in England that soon inspired other areas to build lavish landscapes. Victorians embellished practically everything. They decorated porches with vines and trellises which were attached to walls with vines growing upon them. Urns filled with greenery and flowers were used liberally in the landscape. This magical time changed how gardens were seen and have forever made an impact on designs.

Materials: Cast bronze with hand patina accented in freshwater pearls.

Measurements: 5"x.5", 16" adjustable chain

About Michael Michaud

The Michael Michaud Design Jewelry Collection, designed by Michael Michaud, is a world-renowned collection of botanical jewelry. It captures the beauty and exquisite detail of nature using soft patinas on bronze accented with pearls, beads, stones, and more. His attention to intricate detail results in true to nature, botanical jewelry. 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. 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.
