Silver Seasons
Boxwood Necklace and Drop Earings
Silver Seasons’ exquisite naturalistic jewelry is designed and created by artist, Michael Michaud, who has perfected a technique of casting models directly from natural specimens. Once the models are made, Michael manipulates these “copies of nature” into beautiful jewelry using materials such as bronze, sterling silver, gold, natural stones, and pearls. The collection is a combination of Michael's exceptional knowledge of jewelry making and his love of nature.
Silver Season’s collection for Mount Vernon was made from samples taken directly from the gardens and grounds of the Estate. To find the nearest Silver Seasons retailer, please call toll free 800-295-6784, or email silverseasons@fourseasonsdesigngroup.com.
