Biography of Michelle Ong

Michelle Ong is a Hong Kong designer and jeweler known for her exceptional craftsmanship and unique design abilities. She is dedicated to maintaining her reputation and refuses to release new creations for sale until they meet her strict standards of perfection.

In 1985, Michelle Ong co-founded the company 'Carnet' with Avi Nagar. Since then, the company and Michelle herself have gained worldwide recognition for their exquisite jewelry. Michelle's creations not only adhere to global standards of the jewelry industry but also stand out among the works of other master jewelers.

Michelle Ong's jewelry combines intricate complexity, meticulous attention to detail, carefully curated color and material combinations, and innovative stylistic choices. Her designs have been worn by numerous Hollywood stars, including Kate Winslet and Glenn Close.

Recently, Michelle Ong showcased her latest works at the 'Asia House' exhibition hall in London, where she presented 200 unique jewelry pieces. Once again, fans of Ong's artistry witnessed her incredible attention to detail, as even the smallest elements of her creations were executed flawlessly. Each grain of a delicate gold, platinum, and diamond pomegranate can be discerned, and every vein on the leaves of a platinum and gold pear-shaped "fruit" jewelry piece is intricately visible.

In addition to platinum, gold, and white and yellow diamonds, Michelle incorporated titanium, pink and blue sapphires, amethysts, black and gray diamonds, emeralds, jadeite crystals, rubies, tourmaline, and many other precious gemstones and materials in her latest works. While most of her jewelry pieces exhibit a distinct Eastern style, Michelle is not afraid to draw inspiration from other cultures. One of the most popular exhibits at the show was an exquisitely crafted Byzantine cross.

The future of these exhibited jewelry pieces remains unknown, but it is undeniable that many European and American fashion enthusiasts will be eager to acquire the marvelous pomegranate brooch or stylish diamond earrings with an "Indian" aesthetic.
