Michael Hero designs, formerly a division of Nob Hill Luxury Group, was purchased in early 2007 by OroAmerica/Aurafin, the largest jewelry manufacturer in America. Subsequently --and much to the dismay of collectors-- the entire Michael Hero line of collectibles was discontinued.
These fine collectibles were formerly featured in major high-end department stores such as Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Macy's, and fine jewelry stores such as Bailey, Banks and Biddle and Zales. This unique line of home decor can best be described as "table jewelry," as they are a product of Michael Hero's twenty-five-plus years of jewelry design and manufacturing experience. Each design is inspired by Michael Hero's passion for world travel, architecture and art history, as stated in the Romance Story card, originally provided with each new piece.
Each piece is a work of art, sculpted to be admired from every angle, as the back, sides, stand and clips are as intricately finished as is the beautiful front. Every Michael Hero design was meticulously hand-crafted by carefully selected and trained artisans. Their model-maker hand carved the mold into which the items were cast in the highest quality lead-free genuine pewter. The casted items were then plated in gold, silver, brass or nickel. The design is vividly brought to life with custom-blended enamel pigments that were hand-mixed and hand-applied, and every piece bears the "Michael Hero" signature.
Michael Hero items are "Crystallized with Swarovski", the world leader in cut crystal since the 19th century. Every stone and crystal is individually hand set to rigorous specifications ensuring the highest quality creations. Every crystal in the Michael Hero Collection is a genuine Swarovski(r) crystal. Michael Hero has a quality branding license agreement allowing the items to carry the prestigious "Crystallized with Swarovski" label, featured on the back cover of the Romance Story Card, included in the original gift box with each piece.
Many of the Michael Hero collectible pieces also feature hand set, genuine Swarovski pearls. Like their crystals, Swarovski's faux pearls are of the highest quality, and give the pieces they accent a pure, soft and classic elegance.
These beautiful collectible pieces made in a variety of designs to complement a casual den, bedroom, formal living room, kitchen, elegant dining room, foyer and hallway. All of the frames, because they are finished even on the back, make a splendid display in front of a mirror. You can display them on a dresser, vanity table, coffee table, end table, night stand, shelf, or curio cabinet for a sparkling attraction!
Whether you're looking for a picture frame for the bride and groom for their favorite wedding photo, a lovely vanity tray to display your perfume and cologne bottles, a trinket box or pill box to add to the collection of a friend, or a complete matching set of these lovely collectible pieces to complement your home decor, these exquisite items are made to last and make a lasting impression. Every piece in Michael Hero's "The Art of Fine Living" line of products is a lifetime treasure and an heirloom quality collectible!
