Michael M was founded by Michael Mekesian, who immigrated from Armenia in 1980 with a belief in the power of hard work. After learning the craft from a fellow jeweler, he established his own factory and, in 2007, was joined by his son Peter. Together, they created a bridal collection known for European-inspired designs, distinctive "Euro" shanks, custom alloyed metals, and masterful diamond setting—hallmarks of Michael M’s unmatched quality and attention to detail.
