Michael Bogosian, aka Michael B., was born in 1950 in Istanbul, Turkey, the former capitol of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires and home to a tradition of fine jewelry spanning over two millennia.

Born into a family of jewelers, Michael began working as an apprentice at one of the finest jewelry houses in Turkey at the young age of ten. By the age of 16, Michael was a master of his craft. He came to America and shortly became one of the best known in his industry.

Michael B can be credited with revolutionizing the use of platinum in wedding jewelry. His current collections feature some of the most beautiful diamond bands that combine the elegance of vintage styles, with the "bling" of modern jewelry.
