During Mikes tenure as a Correctional Officer, he continued doing jewelry repair for PAN Jewelers and even picked up J.C. Penney’s repair work when they opened in Paso Robles in 1998. Mike returned to PAN Jewelers full time in 2004 and was their Master Jeweler for 12 years until their retirement in 2016. Mike even had the trust of Jewelers from as far away as Hollister to San Luis, Cambria to Visalia whom brought repair work to him to fix. In 2012 Mike married his wife Kim and plans were hatched to open their own store and that’s when Bella Jule Designs was founded. In 2016, Mike and Kim took over the location from PAN Jewelers and Bella Jule Fine Jewelry opened. Now with over 36 years of Master Jewelry repair experience, Mike can make the most complex repair the simplest task using the state of art technology, laser welders. With jewelry becoming more and more unique, the old ways of welding with torches to repair jewelry is like living back in the Stone Age.
