About the Michal Golan Jewelry Collection

Handcrafted in her New York studio by a team of dedicated craftspeople, with production closely supervised by Michal, the work is fabricated in 24K gold or sterling silver electroplated over brass or white metal. Inspired by elaborate designs of Byzantine, Victorian-era and Middle-Eastern jewelry and decorative arts, Michal's products are an array of richly hued semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, and freshwater pearls. The result combines classic, timeless style with a fresh, contemporary look. Close attention is paid to the quality and durability of the products, and the work is made to last.
