Michela Rosa

Michela Rosa started her training in 1995 working next to her uncle, the world renowned jeweler Michele della Valle.  Her education with him included traveling to the Far East always in search for rare and precious colored stones.  Later becoming the artistic director, Michela Rosa coordinated the production of the ateliers of Maison della Valle.  From this experience she began to learn the secrets of the goldsmith's art and familiarize herself with the most renowned international jewelry brands while cultivating her passion for design.  Most recently, Michela Rosa has created a line of jewels which bear her name.  Thanks to its fashionable character and freshness, the collection has immediate success in the European market.  Lots 11, 12 and 13 demonstrate the artistic sensibility of this fresh new artist.
