www.thejewelrybook.com Because of Michael John Jewelry's exquisite Portofi no Opal Collection, Michael was approached and had the privilege to design and hand-craft one-of-a-kind designs for two of the world's largest Australian Black Opals (featured on the cover and pages 14 & 32.) These necklaces are truly a work of art and museum quality. "I'm tired of seeing the exact same jewelry on everyone… that's why they should come to us!" says Hezar with a decidedly confi dent yet mischievous note in his voice. With many styles to choose from – deli- cate, lacy designs, dramatic pieces with colorful gemstones, edgy black rhodium rings, a full range of bridal choices and even a timepiece collection – there truly is something for everyone. Michael John customers range from the edgy and stylish to the 9 to 5 work- ing girls, from young collectors to 60 year-old tastemakers. The brand crosses many demographics and easily transi- tions from day to night. Their state- ment pieces pair well with evening gowns or worn by funky, edgy women not served by most fi ne jewelry brands. The black rhodium and Déjà vu collec- tions are perfectly suited for a younger client while mature tastes (and pocket books) can celebrate their style with a gorgeous statement piece from the Portofi no collection. Most importantly, the Michael John brand is about quality; high quality fi ne jewelry made by hand in the U.S. "What I love everyone to know about Michael John," says Hezar, "is that all of our stones are hand cut and calibrated. All of our rings are one-of-a-kind. It is the best quality of everything…no compromise."
