Founder

I’ve always had a passion for creativity, from sculpting to tinkering and crafting with my hands.

At nearly 15, I began my working life in a cabinet maker’s warehouse before transitioning to commercial estimating. However, I soon realised I needed a change to fully express my creative side, which led to the founding of Micheli Jewellery.

As owner and director, I oversee every aspect of the business, but my true passion is working closely with clients to design and create bespoke, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Founder & Senior Diamond Consultant

As a first-generation Australian with roots in Lucca, Italy, I’ve always been captivated by the beauty of diamonds and fine jewellery. From a young age, I sought to create meaningful, unique pieces that hold special significance for their wearer.

With 17 years in the industry, my family and I have crafted countless masterpieces and played a part in many cherished memories.

This passion has been passed down to my son, Marc, who now co-owns the business and shares the same commitment to helping clients tell their stories through jewellery.

Manager - Malvern Boutique

With almost a decade of experience in fine jewellery, Naomi brings a unique blend of technical expertise and creativity to her role as Manager of the Malvern Boutique and Senior Diamond Consultant. With experience both on the bench and in bespoke design, she leads the Bespoke team and works closely with clients to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

Inspired by Australian landscapes, Hollywood Regency and coloured gemstones, Naomi is drawn to bold, structural design and the opportunity to create future heirlooms. She is also passionate about Micheli’s sustainable approach to restoring and remodelling jewellery, and a strong advocate for individuality over mass production.

Outside of jewellery, Naomi brings her creativity to the stage as a cabaret performer.

Manager & Operations - Moonee Ponds Boutique

With over 15 years of experience in the luxury retail industry, specialising in fine jewellery and timepieces, Elle brings a deep understanding of craftsmanship, client experience and the art of creating something truly individual.

With a particular appreciation for earthy-toned gemstones and distinctive structural forms, Elle has a passion for bespoke and unexpected pieces that sit outside the ordinary.

Alongside her role managing the Moonee Ponds showroom, Elle oversees ongoing operational projects across the wider business, working to continually enhance both the client experience and the way the business operates.

In-House Jeweller - Malvern Boutique

My name is Callum, and I work as the manufacturing jeweller at Micheli's Malvern store. I began my jewellery apprenticeship in 2019 in my hometown of Perth, inspired by my great-grandfather’s silversmithing legacy.

Since then, I’ve developed a deep passion for hand making jewellery, starting from a plain bar of metal and crafting it into a custom piece that clients will cherish forever.

Working at Micheli offers me an autonomous role within a great team, creating a wide range of designs for our fantastic clients.

In-House Jeweller - Moonee Ponds Boutique

With 20 years of experience in the jewellery trade, I began my career in Wellington, New Zealand, completing my apprenticeship and working at the bench for a decade. I later managed a business specialising in estate jewellery and bullion.

In early 2023, I relocated to Melbourne to continue my career. What I love most about Micheli is the welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Right from the moment I walked in, I knew it was the perfect place to continue my journey.
