Step into Michelle Pivetti Bernat's world,

Where her journey as a self-taught metalsmith is as unique as the pieces she creates. Blending her maiden and married names in her craft, Michelle infuses each creation with passion, skill, and gratitude.

In her cozy jewelry studio overlooking the serene blue of the Pacific, Michelle brings her designs to life. Inspired by the beauty of stones, the charm of found objects, and the versatility of metals, every piece she crafts tells a tale of creativity and resilience.

Michelle's artistic adventure began in 2014 with a tentative step into metal stamping. Over the years, she's embraced trial and error, learning valuable lessons from her "Not as Easy" jar, brimming with mistakes turned into stepping stones.

For Michelle, creating is more than just making jewelry; it's a therapeutic journey, a way to express herself, and a source of joy. With each piece she completes, she feels the magic of transforming raw materials into something beautiful.

Driven by a hunger for growth, Michelle continues to refine her skills through classes and exploration, knowing that creativity is a lifelong journey of discovery.

Above all, Michelle creates because she loves it. Each piece she crafts is a heartfelt expression of gratitude, a reminder of the joy found in creation, and a celebration of the magic of her craft.
