Gems en Vogue II
Gems en Vogue II is a premium jewelry collection featuring rare and exotic gemstones set in silver. Unique and intricate designs, quality craftsmanship and low price points are all cornerstones of the collection.
In order to obtain the highly sought stones that form the basis of the collection, the people behind Gems en Vogue travel extensively throughout the world. While many incredible gemstones can be obtained in North America, other locations such as Germany, Thailand, Bangkok, Australia and Africa boast spectacular stones.
Each piece of jewelry is designed around a specific gemstone and is often inspired by nature or architecture and influenced by historical jewelry and current fashion trends. The ultimate goal is always to present customers with wonderfully original jewelry pieces they'll be delighted to wear.
About Michael Valitutti
Gems en Vogue, Gems en Vogue II, and Brilliante Facet Collection guest Michael Valitutti is a graduate gemologist and award-winning jewelry designer who practically fell into the jewelry industry.
Michael had decided to pursue his MBA, but before returning to his studies, he took a summer job working for a friend - a jeweler in a swanky area of downtown Toronto. He recalls, "I liked it so much, I decided to pursue this career full time, so I asked for a refund of my tuition and the rest is history."
It's no surprise that Michael ended up on TV selling jewelry. More than 30 years ago, he did a pilot for his own TV show. He also worked at the TV station on weekends, working his way up to floor director. Now he is at home on TV and at home in the jewelry business.
