belated introductions

So, you wanna know who is Spiralz Studio? We will all be posting to the blog, so get to know who we are. Here's a run down of the people behind the blog:


Diane is the owner of the studio. She has always had an affinity for the arts and contemporary jewelry. She realized that there was a hole in the market for a place to contemporary, edgy jewelry in Michigan and decided to open a small studio in Birmingham, MI. In 2002, she became the owner of a great (ok... so thats a little biased, but its true!) studio specializing in custom designed jewelry and pieces designed by high-end cutting edge designers from around the world.


Charles is the studio director and custom designer for Spiralz. He's has over 25 years of experience in the jewelry industry. click the link to see the full story of his background. http://www.farlang.com/profiles/charles-michael-designs/complete_storyhttp://

If you need answers to questions on jewelry, appraisals, gems, watches, or even need an expert witness then this is your go-to guy.


John has a background in art and architecture and came to Spiralz from the art gallery world. He's been thoroughly trained in jewelry, gemstones, and watches by Charles. The influence of his art background brings a unique and fresh perspective to the jewelry retail world.


Hope has a background in architecture and graphic design. She is also rigorously trained by Charles in all things jewelry, watch, and gemstone related. Our ads, website, and any other Spiralz collateral are designed by her. She is also the most frequent poster to the blog.
