The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
"The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies...as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye."

The Michael Aram Black Orchid Collection was inspired by the powerful sensuality of orchids and the rich ambiance of haute couture – strikingly simple yet full of the most extreme detail. The collection has an almost gothic feeling – opiated, lush, and smoldering – like the dark, velvety atmosphere of a luxurious evening. "There is something so seductive about orchids. In blackened nickel, they are even more sublime, like a woman wearing a black velvet gown floating through a great estate or a glassy urban high-rise. The dark atmosphere of the orchids against the hammered metal is like the afterglow of a beautiful evening."

The Michael Aram Ornament Collection portrays a series of unique objects that celebrate symbols of the holiday season. Whether seen individually or as a group, they evoke a sense of charm and fantasy with the undeniable signature of Michael's style. Drawing profoundly from Michael's background as a sculptor, each piece emerges from hand-sculpted clay and offers a child-like quality with an inherent depth of meaning. "Christmas ornaments hold a special meaning for me, along with millions of people across the world. Each one is like a little jewel, with its own story and its own connections. Every year, they make their highly anticipated appearance and it feels like they bring a particular magic with them. The whole process is like a profound family ritual that sweetly symbolizes everything the holidays are about."

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

The Astrological Series of zodiac necklaces takes its inspiration from imagery surrounding the belief that the position of the sun, moon, and stars may influence human beings and determine our interaction with the world around us. There is something magical and mystical about our relationship to the cosmos and its potentially profound effect on us. Virgo is represented as the virgin: careful, inquisitive, and charming. Virgoans provide structure and perfection to life. To the world, they present a calm and collected exterior, but on the interior, they are analytical and pensive. The future is a large focus for Virgos, who tend to plan and work towards their goals. They are pure and their motives are honest, bringing opposing energies down to earth and grounding them.

The Butterfly Ginkgo jewelry collection is a poetic collection that tells the story of the delicate balance between flora and fauna, with the leaves and twigs of the ginkgo tree metamorphosing into butterflies taking flight. The piece is inspired by leaves that would blow into Aram's bedroom window from the ginkgo tree growing curbside outside his New York City apartment. The leaves seemed like a delicate gift from nature in an otherwise hostile urban environment, and especially meaningful as the ginkgo tree is associated with wellness and healing. "Seeing the wind rustle through the ginkgo tree made me think of the fluttering wings of butterflies. I see this jewelry as symbolic of change and resilience, qualities so important to our well-being."

"I grew up around pomegranates - from their use as natural dyes on the antique rugs I used to crawl on as a baby to an integral ingredient in the food that I love. When I'm at my home in New Delhi, I wake each morning to the taste of fresh squeezed pomegranate juice. The color, the smell, the delicate flavor all make it feel like a magical elixir to me."

The Michael Aram Gooseberry Collection was inspired by the delicate beauty found in the naturally decaying foliage of the cape gooseberry. As the fruit matures, the lace-like veining that remains in the outer shell creates ghostly, other-worldly textures and shapes.

"I'm fascinated by the change that this seemingly simple little fruit undergoes in its lifecycle. Although I love the taste of them, what really captures my attention is the casting that is often called a Chinese lantern. I also have a nostalgic association with them. Once a year there is a harvest of cape gooseberries in North India and the streets are full of pushcarts stacked high with bundles of them. It's a joyful image that inspires a sense of hope and enthusiasm." ~M.

Coral reefs are also associated with healing, transformation, and refuge in the face of change. "I was inspired by the resilient beauty and the tranquility of the undersea world. I remember picking up shells and bits of coral as a child and imagining the quiet strength of the undersea universe from which they came."

The Michael Aram White Orchid Collection illuminates the ethereal spirit of the orchid flower. Evocative of purity, delicacy, femininity and grace, the white metal version offers a strikingly different appeal than its black counterpart. While the sculpture is just as exuberant and detailed, in white, these flowers take on a simplicity that is completely unique. There is a sense of lightness, freshness and even innocence - each petal seemingly untouched and pure. "Orchids naturally emit a sense of sensuality and seductiveness, but in white nickel they take on a completely different meaning - an element of brightness that I associate with new beginnings. When I think of white orchids, I imagine the purity and sweetness of a newborn child, or a newlywed couple at the beginning of their lifelong journey."

This Nativity Scene has been created by artist Michael Aram, who was inspired by his childhood memory of his own family's nativity set and the joy surrounding its installation each Christmas. The beauty of the piece is expressed through its sculptural quality, intricate metal-working techniques, and through the use of mixed metals. Aram was very inspired by the richness of symbolism and meaning embodied in traditional art forms depicting the birth of baby Jesus. "For me, Christmas is a magical time of year, enhanced by family rituals and decorating the house in beautiful ways. Each year, as we unpacked and assembled our family's Creche, I was reminded of the true meaning of Christmas and the story of Christ's birth. It is as though the assembly of the Nativity captured the essence of the holidays."

The Ivy & Oak Collection is inspired by the picturesque hamlet built for Marie Antoinette at the palace of Versailles. The collection reflects the beauty of nature and the love of a country existence - or at least how the royal palace architects romanticized it at the whim of a young queen. The simple shape of each piece is inspired by the bucket Marie Antoinette carried as she pretended to be a milkmaid at her village refuge. "I wanted to capture the balance between palace and country life in this collection. The delicate, winding cast ivy wraps around faux-bois etched metal elements, offering a romanticized interpretation of a simple life on the farm."

Michael Aram Signature Home Scents are weightless, subtle and universal yet exuberant and complex. These fragrances take their inspiration from the same organic motifs that made the artist famous.
The Michael Aram Vincent Collection celebrates the sunflower. Symbolic of hope and optimism, it is a flower that is ordinarily represented with bright yellows in sweetly romanticized renditions. In Michael's interpretation, he expresses a less conventional view of the flower. Inspired by the more earnest and frenetic spirit of Vincent Van Gogh's legendary paintings, Michael chose to embody the contorted, almost threatening beauty of the bloom as it transitions through each stage of its existence. "Vincent is an enigmatic combination of sensations...an ever-present sense of brightness and hope is blended with a dark and brooding undercurrent...quietly reflective of the poignant sunflower paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. Vibrant citric and grassy notes at the beginning set up the joyful spirit for which the sunflower is typically known. These are quickly overshadowed by the richer tones of bergamot and caraway seed. The base essences overtake the whole with the deep and contemplative scents of warm patchouli, soft cedarwood, and cypress."
