Michael B
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. At the age of 10, Michael
carried on his father's legacy and began a full-time apprenticeship with one of
the finest jewelry houses in Istanbul. By age 16, Michael had learned every facet
of the trade, cultivating the highest level of skills a jeweler could achieve
in metal, diamond setting and design, imagining intricate designs and creating
pieces from start to finish.
With an amazing array of skills and dreams of a better life, Michael left his
roots in Istanbul as a teenager and headed for America with just $75 in his pocket.
Connecting with a relative who had already emigrated to the U.S., Michael arrived
in Studio City, California, centrally located near many of the hottest names in
the entertainment industry.
Within a few years, Michael developed a reputation as the finest jeweler in the
area, and in 1972, he founded Matthew's, a retail jewelry store named after his
first son. Today, Matthew's stands as one of the premier jewelry boutiques in
all of Los Angeles.
Over the years, Michael has serviced too many celebrity clients to list, and do
not expect him to name drop. Michael bonds with each of his clients on a personal
level and feels very strongly about respecting their privacy.
From his own perspective, Michael's crowning achievement came in 1983 with the
creation of a custom jeweled egg, symbolic of the Romanov eggs made by the House
of Faberg in czarist Russia.
