Being a gemologist and jewelry designer myself, I have an appreciation for fine work in other designers. Michele's creativity in wire wear is exceptional and is among the finest quality on the market! It is no wonder, too, it can take her hours just to choose a few gems with which to work! Every piece she designs is truly a work of art. I guarantee that if you buy one of her creations you will be complimented over and over each time you wear it!
