After creating a custom butterfly charm for his daughter, Anabel, artist Michael Aram was inspired to design a jewelry collection comprising of pieces which reflect Anabel’s joyful spirit and effortless sense of style.  Having been practically raised in Michael’s studio, Anabel gives promise to a new generation of creatives while inspiring Michael to approach his work with a fresh, contemporary perspective.   
 
The Anabel Aram Jewelry collection is designed by Michael with Anabel as his collaborator and artistic muse. Anabel embraced her father’s passion for design from the moment she made her first metal sculpture while visiting his studio. The collection is a labor of love, a celebration of family, and a reflection of the beauty inherent in the natural world. 
 
Anabel Aram jewelry is designed in Palm Beach and joyfully captures the casual-chic vibe and sunny spirit of the island. Although modern in essence, Anabel Aram jewelry is rooted in age-old craft traditions and a love for the handmade process. The brass castings are created using the lost wax process, and each sparkling crystal is hand set after each piece is carefully dipped in 18 carat gold.
 
Joyful, confident, and original are words which capture Anabel’s personality and that define the ethos of her eponymous jewelry collection.

Our Founder

Trained as a painter, sculptor, and art historian, Michael has neatly applied his diverse background to the decorative arts. Lyrical and often witty, his work encompasses a wide range of media and reveals a rich and variant source of inspiration – nature, mythology, narrative storytelling, and purified form. Michael’s work is also a celebration of craft and age-old hand working traditions. It is the enduring fusion of these ideals – originality, narrative, and craftsmanship – that has become the hallmark of this gifted artist.

Motif & Inspiration

Michael is highly inspired by his surroundings and often makes sculptures of objects that might otherwise be overlooked in the everyday. Nature is his biggest muse, as is the handmade process. His work combines the imperfections innate in the handmade process with the perfectly imperfect beauty of nature to create objects that reflect humanity. Many of his pieces are ingrained with a rich storyline, inherent symbolism, and deep-rooted meaning. Sometimes his work is simply an exploration and celebration of the handmade process.

The Making Process

Fascinated with the richness of the living crafts tradition which he discovered on his first trip to Delhi, Michael would seek out craftsmen in the old city by listening for the sound of metal being beaten and by searching for the aroma of baked molasses, a signal of the sand casting process. The artisans he encountered were making ordinary objects such as buckets, shovels, and scissors, but for Michael, their traditional techniques were extraordinary. Michael spent hours observing artisans as they made things the same way families had made them for centuries. Touched by the talent and humility of these gifted artisans, Michael set up a studio in India where he has created his work for over 30 years. Today, over 200 artisans work alongside him in his workshop where the same creative interaction between artist and artisan remains the source of every object that Michael makes.
