About Michele Michel Jewelry
Inspired by her family, she
decided to pursue a career in fashion and jewelry design
at the Istituto Europeo de Design in Rome, Italy. During
her vacations back home, she would put into practice what
she had learned by designing silver jewelry for herself
and friends.
After graduating she stayed in Rome to work
as a fashion designer. In 1989, she crossed from fashion
into costume design by joining the crew of Francis Ford
Coppola's "The God Father III", as an assistant
in the costume department.
Soon after the movie wrapped she left Rome
for San Francisco in 1990, where she began creating her
own unique line of jewelry for her cousins Brenda Schoenfeld,
and Citlal Castillo. She would travel to Taxco to produce
it and then back to the US to pursue her other passion:
Film.
Michele moved in 1992 to Los Angeles where
she works as a Costume Designer and Illustrator for Film.
Through the years, Michel has designed many films. Her credits
include:"The Air I Breathe" with Brendan Frazer,
Forest Whitaker, Andy Garcia, Kevin Bacon, Sarah Michelle
Gellar, "Training Day" with Denzel Washington,
"Harsh Times" starring Christian Bale, Freddy
Rodriguez and Eva Longoria, and "Confidence" with
Ed Burns, Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia.
It was during the Premiere of "Confidence"
at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, that actor/director,
Ed Burns showed Michele that he was still wearing the chain
and charm that she had specially designed for him, that
propelled her to opening an online store where she could
sell her pieces.
"I enjoy designing pieces that I would
wear, or that I would love to receive as a gift from a loved
one. For me jewelry has so many meanings and expressing
them is what motivates my creativity. Creating a collection
or a one-of-a-kind piece makes me always think about the
person that will wear it - what it says about them and how
will they wear it. I love classic styles with a twist, something
that can become part of my collection through the years.
Although fashion trends are constantly evolving, there is
something about classic beauty that just with a little bit
of re-visiting can appear fresh, sophisticated and in vogue
and that is what my style is about. I like to design around
shapes of stones, beads, pearls and I particularly like
to cut through silver, as you can see in some of my pieces.
On quiet afternoons I enjoy so much to work on wax. It reminds
me of the Etruscans and my days in Rome. I constantly create
new designs and if I feel compelled to wear them over and
over again, then I start production".
