The Spirit of Giving
Often when a line claims celebrity fans, those actors have actually been "gifted" the pieces for free by hopeful designers and publicists. Spiritual jewelry designer Catherine Michiels can boast a different level of success, as her ancient talisman-inspired pieces are notoriously bought (yes, with an actual monetary exchange) and gifted by celebrities for celebrities. Since Michiels is also a Reike Master, perhaps her good vibes are responsible for A-list exchanges like Sharon Stone buying Elton John gold bracelets, Portia de Rossi giving Ellen Degeneres an "I’ll Never Stop Loving You" pendant, and Gwyneth and Apple receiving rose gold "Stardust" bracelets from a friend. Johnny Depp has custom designed a piece, Sienna Miller sports an ebony and skull "Stardust" bracelet, Uma Thurman rocked her own "Stardust" bracelets and Sheryl Crow bought every piece at her Self magazine shoot. Previously, Michiels’ lotus flower and skull Bob motif has only been available in ring form (pictured here), but the designer next plans to expand that collection. Ready To Wear and Custom: $150-$65,000, LA: Maxfield, 8825 Melrose Ave., (310) 274-8800, NYC: Takashimaya, 693 Fifth Ave., (212) 350-0100
