This fern leaf necklace also comes with an information card that states the following: FERN Ferns have been around since the dawn of time! They first appeared in fossil records that date back to the Devonian period 360 million years ago and have graced the planet ever since. They grow in many different habitats throughout the world and most popular during the Carboniferous Period (the Age of Ferns) being the dominant part of vegetation. Some ferns are used for food like fiddleheads, in art and for medicinal purposes. Not only do these unassuming environmentally-friendly plants stand the test of time, they remove pollutants from the air, remediate contaminated soils and serve as decorative highlights in any space they share. A mix of green brass finish and green patina over bronze. Accented by gold freshwater pearls and faceted semi precious garnet stones.

In 1991, fortunate enough to be living in the Connecticut countryside and working near New York City’s flower district, Michael’s love of nature began to combine with his love of jewelry. Today’s collection is a combination of Michael’s exceptional knowledge of jewelry making and his love of nature. He has perfected the technique of creating models from natural elements and, after models are made, manipulating these “copies of nature” into beautiful jewelry. Using bronze, sterling silver or gold and natural stones and pearls, Michael’s designs have become well known for their remarkable craftsmanship and beauty.
