MICHAEL M was built out of generations of Meksian Family jewelry-making tradition. Michael Meksian, the namesake of the brand, came to America to forge his way in the world with his own career - which ended up being a successfully thriving family business in the fine jewelry industry. His son, Peter, wanted something more - he wanted to create a legacy for the family name. In discovering the opportunity in the luxury jewelry marketplace for a brand that utilizes European inspiration and designs, Michael and Peter created MICHAEL M, introducing a brand with European style and influence, and distinct modern craftsmanship to the jewelry world.
