Designer Profile: Michal NegrinLearn More About Israel’s Renowned Jewelry DesignerExplore the sublime world of Israeli designer Michal Negrin, with gorgeous Neo Victorian jewelry dripping with Swarovski crystals and flowing floral silk blouses.
Michal Negrin is an Israeli designer known primarily for her ornate costume jewelry designs. However, in recent years, Negrin has expanded her product line to include home décor and clothing. Humble BeginningsMichal Negrin started selling her designs in 1988 in Tel Aviv’s open-air marketplace. Soon afterwards, Negrin and her husband opened a small shop. She now has 41 Michal Negrin shops around the world. Her company employs 160 artisans who meticulously produce Negrin’s handmade designs. TrademarksNegrin produces ultra feminine embellished jewelry pieces. Negrin’s trademark is her Victorian-inspired jewelry. Her designs typically feature vintage pictures of cherubs and Victorian women. The mental used in her jewelry is antique brass, and she likes to embellish her pieces with Swarovski crystals and imported lace. Celebrity FansHollywood fashionistas love Michal Negrin. Her celebrity fans include Britney Spears, Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman, Kristie Alley, Kate Beckinsale, and Melanie Griffith Product PlacementNegrin designed a ring and a broach that were used in the 2007 movie Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. They had a picture of a cat on them and were worn by Imelda Staunton, who played Dolores Umbridge, a character who has an obsession for cats. Lifetime GuaranteeUnlike other jewelry brands, Negrin’s jewelry actually comes with a lifetime guarantee for replacing or fixing broken, damaged, and impaired products. If you bought your jewelry from a Michal Negrin store, the store will actually send your piece of jewelry back to Israel if they cannot repair it in the store. But, the warranty does not include any damages caused by improper or unreasonable use of the products or for loss and theft. Pricey but Beautiful Quality ProductsNegrin’s products range in price depending on how elaborate the design is and what product you are buying. Some of her smaller necklaces range in price from $79-$120 (USD) but some of her more elaborate pieces cost around $500. Her clothing range is about $179-$312 for a top. But remember, her products are handmade and the cost of the production is probably built into the price. Where You Can Find Her JewelryMichal Negrin currently has 53 stores throughout the world in such places as New York, Mexico City, Las Vegas, Miami, Sydney, Tokyo, Madrid, and Paris. Negrin’s company also sells its products throughout department stores such as Niemen Marcus and Bloomingdale (U.S.A) and Selfridges (United Kingdom). Negrin’s jewelry can also be found at specialty boutiques, and of course on her web site.
