Mikal Deese majored in fine arts and crafts at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, but was inspired to start working in metals on her own. In 1971 she moved to Canada and later trained under German goldsmiths in Vancouver, B.C. In 1982 she was awarded her graduate gemologist certificate from the Gemological Institute of America, and in 1985 moved to New Mexico where she now resides.

"I enjoy making pieces which become small personal treasures to their owners, very often wedding rings - the symbols of their attachments - the jewelry they don't feel right without...durable enough to last a lifetime, and yet distinctive enough to become their own."

Mikal's cast and fabricated rings can be special ordered in sterling silver with 18K yellow gold, or all 18K yellow and white gold, or platinum with gold accents.
