During Medieval Times, thyme leaves have been used as a gift to empower courage in those who carried the leaves. Today the leaves are used as an herb in many culinary dishes, giving roasted meats vegetables and even apples a delicious flavor. Thyme is also used for medicinal oils and is a remedy for sore throats and coughs. During early to mid summer, small lightly colored flowers grow in clusters around the tips of the branches enchanting the herb with the lovely scent of a new beginning.

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.
