Israel Bien has been designing jewelry since 1992. Preceded by his father and grandfather, he is no stranger to the jewelry industry. Where they focused primarily on cutting and polishing rough diamonds, Israel has found his expression and niche with fine custom jewelry design. Having the unique advantage of working adjacent to his father's diamond cutting factory, his customers have immediate access to fine quality gemstones. After hand selecting the special diamonds or precious gems of their choice, Israel assists his customers in creating one of a kind pieces. With a long list of customers from Sony, Miramax, ABC, CBS, NBC, and MTV, Israel has built an impeccable reputation of producing fine quality jewelry. He has a following which includes Lori Stokes (ABC newscaster), Richard Blake ("Hairspray" and "Aida"), and international dignitaries. Israel uses his pieces to promote the greater good. He has raised money for various causes by participating in fundraising auctions for Interfaith Medical, Incarnation Children's Hospital and NACME (National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc.). In addition, he has designed a pendant for POAC (Parents Of Autistic Children) from which he donates a large portion of every sale to fund educational programs for teachers of autistic children in community schools. Israel prides himself on designing pieces that truly represent the individual and hold timeless aesthetic appeal... because true beauty is Eternal!
