Blueberry Pin

Cast bronze 2" Pin with hand-patinaed lifelike hues and finished with detailed sponge coral berries in a celebration of vibrant, healthy natural life.  Handcrafted by Silver Seasons in Bellmore, NY.

This unique jewelry is made by creating molds directly from botanical elements in a process similar to lost-wax casting. Michael uses an actual leaf, branch or flower instead of a wax model. A mold is formed around the botanical element and during the heating process the plant matter is burned away leaving behind a detailed image of itself. Soft patinas are then used on cast bronze and further accented with pearls , beads, corals, glass or stones.
