ONE OF A KIND-MICHOU : Fire meets ice with this opal pendant from Michou’s One of a Kind collection, which runs the gamut in gemstones, from the red-hot look of pink tourmaline at the top, to the citrine tucked in the scroll-like motif in the middle, to the opal finale at the bottom of the pendant, which is cool blue and fiery at the same time. Best of all, the collection is one of a kind, so you won’t see this exact piece elsewhere.
Although an expert in art, Michele had never actually made her own jewelry. Inspired by what she encountered on her first trip to Bali, she did her own research and experimenting to achieve her distinctive look: a combination of centuries-old gold smithing techniques used and a modern aesthetic that made the jewelry suitable for everyday use.
