Spanish-born Miguel Ases began as a dancer with the National Ballet of Spain before going on to pursue design at Madrid's School of Arts.

As a former dancer, Miguel instinctively understood how to utilize precision and creativity in design. He was inspired to create jewelry using rich mixtures of sterling silver, 14K gold-filled metals, semi-precious stones and freshwater pearls, incorporating them into intricate and brilliantly hued pieces. It wasn’t long before his opulently artful, yet highly wearable jewelry garnered attention from savvy women and the fashion world at large.

Miguel’s jewelry has since been featured in Vogue, Elle, InStyle, Glamour, Lucky, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, New York Times, Mademoiselle, Marie Claire, Women's Wear Daily, W and British Vogue, and has appeared in the collections of designers such as Ellen Tracy, Nicole Miller, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Betsy Johnson and Valentino. Among the fine department stores that carry his designs are Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus, along with high-end jewelry stores and websites worldwide. His designs have been worn by the likes of Eva Longoria, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Simpson, Shakira, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah Winfrey, Uma Thurman, Kate Jackson and Katie Couric. But it is perhaps his jewelry’s ability to make any woman feel like a star that has made Miguel Ases a star in his own right.
