Jewelry Designer Michael M. Launches Colorful Sapphire Collection

Handcrafted Designs Made in Los Angeles


LOS ANGELES, July 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jewelry designer Michael M. is excited to announce the official launch of their Sapphire Collection, currently available at independent retailers nationwide. The Sapphire Collection was inspired by Michael M's passion for mixing premium quality colored gemstones with diamonds, along with the brand's desire to keep the price point more accessible. Retail pricing for the designs start at $300.

The collection consists of over 45 "rough" sapphire styles including dangling earrings, pendants, multi-lined bracelets, and cocktail rings. Each design is set in silver or 18k yellow gold, and showcases the beauty and multi-colorations of natural sapphires. The silver is rhodium plated, creating a vintage-inspired and timeless feel within a modern design. The yellow gold setting highlights the sparkle from each sapphire.

Each design is handcrafted in Michael M's downtown Los Angeles workshop.

"These pieces make a bold and bright statement yet they still appear delicate," says Michael M. CEO and designer Peter Meksian. "They are ideal for daytime and eveningwear."
