Painted between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Claude Monet's Water Lilies series of paintings are an enduring testament to the artist's mastery of capturing essence of nature through his distinctive Impressionist lens. This beautiful water lilies brooch is cast in bronze with a duo of mixed metal finished, green hand patination and 24k gold plating, and accented with purple cast glass flowers. 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. Michael Michaud Jewelry is handcrafted  in New York, NY, and is renowned for its beauty and workmanship. Measures 1.65 x 1.6 in.
