Michael Hero Heirloom Quality Collectibles 'Crystallized with Swarovski'

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.

Limited Availability Heirloom Quality Decorative Collectibles 

Comparable only to Jay Strongwater in Quality & Uniqueness

Michael Hero designs are comparable in quality and uniqueness to the designs of Jay Strongwater, whose pieces run in the hundreds of dollars each and are still readily available. The elegant and delightful frames, vanity trays, trinket boxes, pill boxes, napkin rings, and place card holders from the Michael Hero line, however --especially those that are new in original gift box with original packaging and inserts-- will become more and more difficult to obtain as retailers' and individual sellers' inventories are depleted.

Each Piece is a Work of Art 

All-around Fine Detailing Makes a Fabulous Display

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.

'Crystallized with Swarovski' 

Quality Branding License with Swarovski

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.

Handset Genuine Swarovski Pearls 

The Essence of Elegance

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.

Designs for Every Decor -- and Even the Most Discriminating Tastes 

From Modern Art Deco to Exotic to Classic European 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!
