Cast-From-Nature Collection to Launch at Select Show
Michael Michaud Fine Jewelry Designs is intended to hit consumer-friendly price points via gold plating.
Designer Michael Michaud has been creating pieces cast from flowers, branches and leaves for 30 years.
New York—This weekend, a new jewelry line will be introduced to retailers at the Select Show in Washington D.C.
Michael Michaud Fine Jewelry Designs is a line of 14-karat and 24-karat gold-plated silver jewelry that takes its inspiration quite literally from nature. The namesake designer creates molds from leaves, branches and flowers to create his pieces.
Priced on average in the $27 to $95 wholesale range, the line is intended to be consumer friendly in terms of price point to encourage impulse purchases from customers.
While Michael Michaud may be new to the jewelry industry, the designer has been making jewelry and developing his techniques for 30 years.
The brand is owned by Four Seasons Design Group, a Long Island, New York-based manufacturer of botanical-themed jewelry and home accessories, headed by brothers Steven and Matthew Lazar.
Michaud’s work has adorned actresses and political figures, including former Secretary of State and Ambassador to the United Nations Madeline Albright, who featured a few pins of his design in her book, “Read My Pins … Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewel Box.”
Even more impressive is Michaud’s “Survivor Tree Collection,” which was commissioned based off the casting of a flower from a Callery pear tree that miraculously withstood the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center.
Michael Michaud Fine Jewelry Designs will debut to retailers this Sunday at the Select Show.
