Brooch, Tulip

The bright and vibrant bulbs of the tulip are a sign that spring has arrived, and nature is ready to showcase its blooms.  Part of the lily family, the tulip has over 3,000 different varieties to enjoy, with each color holding its own, unique meaning. The tulip's signature, curved stem is caused by its flower bud bending towards the nearest light source.

The tulip brooch is a botanical jewelry piece handmade in New York by Michael Michaud Jewelry, Inspired by Nature.
