Taigan Welcomes Michael Spirito, 'Rock Star' Jewelry Designer

NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Spirito has launched a new shop on Taigan.com. Seen on the covers of Elle, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and Lucky Magazine, jewelry designer Michael Spirito has crafted edgy, futuristic pieces for the biggest and brightest stars in music and film.

Ranging from edgy serpents and scorpions to fine jewelry creations, Spirito's vibrant, wearable works are ambitious and elegant at the same time. Combinations of oxidized sterling silver melded with pure gold, a melange of colored sapphires, diamonds, rubies, vibrant Tsavorite, Fire Opals and Rainbow Moonstones give the pieces an inner glow that seemingly lights the jewelry from within.

Spirito is famous for his regal, rock-inspired pieces. He meticulously hand-makes his works of art at his studio in NYC, ensuring the work remains wholly unique and exceedingly special, enhancing the personal style of all whom it adorns.

Michael Spirito is the most recent in a long line of designers and specialty retailers who have discovered the online shopping community. Taigan is a sophisticated shopping portal seeking special, unique and hard-to-find items from jewelry to apparel, boutique wineries, gourmet food and home decor and more.
