Michael Michaud''s Nature Jewelry

[AGBF]

Michael Michaud''s jewelry, which is designed primarily in silver, I believe, came up in a thread about gold designers. We seem to need a place to discuss him, so I thought that I had better carve one out!

Widget, in the other thread you asked if it wouldn''t be nice if one could buy his peapod necklaces with the appropriate number of pearl "peas" (children) to give as Mother''s Day gifts. I think that that is possible!

These pieces appear to be available.

Thanks, Deb!

I really love his stuff...I think a lot of his pieces are in cast bronze, too.

I gather he doesn''t have a website of his own, that his stuff is only available through retailers??

It was AmberWaves'' acorn wedding necklace that turned me on to him!

I think Irina posted this piece in an old, now closed thread... Patina-ed bronze and pink freshwater pearls inspired by Monet''s Water Lilies...

I looked at some of his work that was available on the ''net, and it is beautiful. Interestingly enough, he is from my neck of the woods. He grew up in Westport and Fairfield, Connecticut...a stone''s throw from where I did and where I have always had family. I love the fruit he does, particularly the blueberries and the cherries. I also love the birch bark cuff bracelet he made. I know I wouldn''t wear one, so I won''t buy one, but I really enjoy looking at it. It is truly a sculpture, a work of art!

I wish he worked in gold and platinum...

(I can''t help myself...I''m such snob...

Thanks for the links, Kismet. His being able to work in gold does not surprise me now that I have seen his work in other metals. I have been trying to post a picture of the birch bark cuff bracelet. It is gorgeous (but would not be as gorgeous in gold, I think!).
