Weeping Willow WIre Earrings by Michael Michaud

Graceful and poetic, the weeping willow has long symbolized flexibility and resilience, bending with the wind yet never breaking, Its slender, cascading leaves evoke a sense of movement and renewal, inspiring artists and storytellers with its quiet elegance. In the Weeping Willow collection, these qualities are captured in delicate detail, creating jewelry that honors the tree's elegant silhouette and timeless symbolism.

The earrings feature a sculptural cluster of slender bronze leaves, hand patinated to capture the depth of natural greenery. Interspersed among the cascading leaves are white freshwater seed pearls, representing the tree's catkins, their luminous presence adding softness and light. The combination of verdant patina and pearly luster creates earrings with a graceful sense of movement - bold yet refined, echoing the willow's flowing branches.

Materials: The Weeping Willow earrings are cast in hand-patinated bronze with clusters of white freshwater seed pearls. The wires are 925 silver with a 24kt gold plating.

Measures: 1.61" L × 0.5" W

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.
