Catherine Michiels

Catherine learned jewelry making at the Arts & Métiers Institute in Brussels. She studied gemology and diamond grading at the prestigious High Council for Diamonds in Antwerp. However, her start in creating jewelry came much earlier. “In the summer of 1973, I spent time with my Grandmother buying costume jewelry from the traveling salesmen for her boutique on the boardwalk in the North Coast of Belgium. “I had just started to make enamel pendants when a client saw them and placed an order for 100 pieces. My jewelry career had begun.”

After working in the magazine business for Marie Claire and Elle, and publishing her own bimonthly Moderne, Catherine returned to the world of jewelry and launched a line that has earned acclaim and helped spread her vision of spiritual and social responsibility around the world. A Reiki master, Catherine imbues her creations with a spiritual connotation that transcends jewelry and art.

It would be impossible to speak of Catherine Michiels without mention of India. “I was there right after the Tsunami. I don’t think anyone can go to India without feeling a change within them. The culture, the artistry, the people and the way they confront hardship is inspiring.” She collaborates with a Fair Trade workshop in Jaipur where street children learn the craft of jewelry making as a way of escaping poverty.

Based in the USA, all of the sculpted pieces in Catherine’s collection are her own designs. Her concept of Fair Trade extends to every relationship with supplier and client alike and she maintains a personal connection to each of the artisans and craftsmen who work on her pieces. Her training at the Arts & Métiers Institute gives her ability to supervisor her workers with a certainty born of experience.

Catherine’s collection serves as a symbol of aesthetic and spiritual awareness for a clientele that includes Hollywood’s top stars and trendsetters. It is no surprise that gross sales figures for Catherine’s line more than doubled in the last year (2005: $170K/2006: $400K). Catherine has been in business for 3 ½ years.
