Michal's- Philosophy:

I often refer back to my previous career in the arts to draw inspiration from the colors, beauty and raw elements into my designs that combine modern with touches of ethnic and classic. I handcraft fluid, organic forms using gold, silver and integrated precious gemstones to invent new works-of-art to connect the wearer to the piece itself. My experimentation with precious metals and unique gemstones carve a primal-luxe aesthetic with an unapologetically confident appeal, suitable for day to day wear.

It is utmost important for me to use materials that can be recycled and conflict free gemstones and to integrate a lot of color to my jewelry.
