Testimonials

“Michelle DaRin is a creative genius, a force of nature and a total badass. Her designs are wearable art. Statement pieces. Sculptures. She is an inspiration not only in her pursuit of artistic expression but in her sense of personal style. And wearing a piece of Michelle DaRin jewelry, you feel powerful, beautiful and seen. And the fact that she literally forges them in fire is kind of cool too! She is one of a kind!”

“I LOVE your jewelry! This happened in Florida last Winter: I was walking down the street in Vero Beach. I was wearing my favorite necklace from your collection, the bird in flight. A complete stranger stopped me and asked if my necklace was a 'Michelle DaRin'. It was so lovely — I met a very nice woman from the Syracuse area all due to your beautiful and recognizable jewelry!”

“Michelle is a renaissance artisan with a modern aesthetic. Every piece she crafts — jewelry, clothing, headdresses, sculptures — are designed with vision and creativity. Her commissioned pieces are even more so, due to the love and care she infuses into each one. Michelle radiates positivity, and each interaction with her encourages a return visit. I have countless pieces and I am always longing for more.”

“Michelle's work is bold without being tacky. It's sexy and it makes a seductive ringing sound when they clang together. The natural leather bands are a soft counterpoint to the shiny slick enameled copper. A sexy combination of hard and soft. Other jewelry can get lost next to your wardrobe, whereas these bracelets seem part of the whole outfit. When you wear these bracelets you feel invincible. They give you power while also feeling feminine. I like to wear them 24/7 — sleeping, showering, working out — and I never feel like they are going to break.”

“It is jewelry for bad ass women who are comfortable making a statement. It is sexy, flirty and sometimes outrageous. It is for people who do not mind standing out. Tough, sexy and beautiful — just like her.”

“Unique pieces, meaningful, spiritual, passionate — they resonate a message or feeling. Whimsical blends of color that can be worn casually everyday or dressy. I like how there is substance to the larger pieces and a delicateness to others. Most of all I love that they are made by a woman who is passionately artistic with each individual piece — a RARE quality these days!”

“Whimsical, spiritual pieces that inspire those who wear them. Pieces that capture many elements of nature. Made for warrior goddesses and dreamers. Wearable art jewelry that ranges from delicate floral fairies using soft rose gold to bold bright stone rings as unique and bold as the woman who wears them. Michelle DaRin is a gifted artisan and her true spirit lives within each piece.”

“Every piece is completely different and unique! No two pieces are exactly the same! I have also never seen anything else like your work, especially your large necklaces, crowns, etc. You can tell there is a lot of hard work and passion put into all of your pieces. The fact that you love what you do really shows!”

“Michelle DaRin creates unique pieces of jewelry with a great deal of thought and heart. Words that come to mind: bold, bright, earthy, freedom, natural, strength. Each creation has meaning and speaks to individuality.”

“Michelle's jewelry is beautiful because it's a creation from her heart. That's what sets it apart from anyone else's.”

“Michelle's work is organic and unique with a slight edge. Colors and textures that align with nature.”

“Michelle's work is very wearable — many pieces can go casual or dressy. It's also accessible to a wide range of different people, no restrictions based on age or lifestyle. And for me it's the color palettes — always a great pop of color when I wear one of your pieces.”
