Michelle grew up in a family of gem dealers and has traveled to more than thirty countries searching for the perfect stones. Her jewelry is made of sterling silver plated in 18k yellow gold, pink gold or platinum. Michelle’s trademark fine-lined texture in her jewelry was inspired by the Zen gardens of her youth in Japan and represents mindfulness and appreciation for beauty. All of the stones are genuine gemstones and pearls. She insists on the highest level of craftsmanship to ensure that each piece is a wearable sculpture, flawless from every angle.
