flair for finery

Although Michele watches simply have been known in the United States for a few years, the real history behind the corporation starts back for the 1940's. The company began with all the exquisite thinking about watchmaker Maurice Barouh in Belgium. His strong belief in quality and refinement set the company up for where it can be today. What rockhound just isn't acquainted with the red and yellow flowers, orbs, and poppies within this highly preferred cutting material? We have all 'ooohed and aaahed' viewing the slabs and cabs at gem shows. With each cut exposing a succession of unexpected patterns I have often been surprised at my finished gems, (though I would always say, "Yep, that is the look I was opting for.")
