Designer Catherine Michiels reports doubled sales volume from 2005 in first six months of ‘06

Los Angeles, California, November 10, 2006

Sales volume of Catherine Michiels Fine Custom Jewelry in 2005 doubled that of 2004. In the first six months of 2006, the 2005 figures were more than doubled again. This is, in part, due to the overwhelming response to the ‘Recognition’ collection.

Jewelry designer Catherine Michiels introduced her latest creation Sundar as the newest addition to her ‘Recognition’ collection this fall. Offered in Gold, Bronze or Silver, the sculpted piece features the figure of a dove flying free with the phrase “Sowing Seeds of Peace” highlighted by a 2 point diamond on the reverse side.

“I wanted to create something special that would remind the wearer that peace begins within. Finding peace for oneself is an important step towards creating it for the world. My designs are inspired by love, truth, serendipity and freedom.”

Fans of Catherine’s creations include Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Kate Bosworth, Sandra Bullock, Sheryl Crow, Ellen DeGeneres, Macy Gray, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Helen Hunt, Sharon Stone, Uma Thurman and Naomi Watts. Takashimaya has joined Barney’s, Maxfield and L’Eclaireur among the world-wide sales locations for the Catherine Michiels collection.

Catherine’s ‘Stardust’ bracelets, with their signature leather ties, have sparked an interesting phenomenon. Women start with one and go on to acquire and an entire collection, all worn together on the wrist, that they never remove. This attachment to the bracelets is so strong that three generations of women in a family will wear them evidencing the fact that they appeal to all ages. It is also worth noting that husbands and boyfriends have also become the effect of the phenomenon wearing the bracelets in combination next to their wristwatches.

Current orders will bring the 2006 sales volume at Catherine Michiels to 250% of 2005.
