History: Michal Negrin has been creating Victorian inspired, whimsical designs in jewelry, home décor and clothing for more than two decades.Born in 1957, in kibbutz Naan, Israel, despite being surrounded by a strong sense of community, Michal always felt she was an individual with her own vision and drive to follow her inner passion for self-expression.

Soon afterwards, the couple opened their first small shop in the fashionable shopping district of Sheinkin.

Inspired by mixing the old with the new as well as the exceptional color combinations, Michal Negrin personally designs every piece of jewelry, home décor and clothing that carries her name.
