Michelle Hisae Meronek is the architect behind the remarkable M. Hise portfolio of jewelry. She pulls inspiration from her Japanese and Eastern European heritage to blend concepts of art, object, and earth into symbols of commitment to self and others. Her pieces are a balance of masculine and feminine energy, and each piece is carefully crafted with a deep commitment to sustainability.

"Style is an inner knowing. It involves fearlessness and commitment to self in the truest sense. I think trends are “inside the box” – they’re propelled by a sense of urgency, and to me, urgency contradicts the grace of style."
