Why: A jack-of-all-jewelry-trades, Michael's work encompasses a variety of feisty forms and functions. He designs, crafts and sometimes cuts the stones for his bold and colorful brooches, rings, earrings and objects. Exotic gems are ever-present...Parrotwing Chrysocolla, Sugilite, Gaspeite, Ammonite to name just a few...along with traditionals like Diamonds, Jade and Lapis, and all are accented with precious metals from silver to 22K gold. His pieces are fun, imaginative and so pleasant to be around...just like him!  :)
