About Us

Ballentines Jewelry was not created to follow tradition—it was created to redefine it.

Founded by designer Michael Ballentine, the brand is rooted in a relentless pursuit of excellence, where craftsmanship, precision, and intention converge. What began as a passion for performance and discipline evolved into a deeper obsession: the art of creating pieces that hold meaning far beyond their materials.

After relocating to Los Angeles, Ballentine set out to build something distinct—an atelier dedicated to one-of-one creations. Each piece is approached as a composition, engineered not only for beauty, but for presence. Every diamond is carefully selected for how it performs in real life—its fire, its movement, its ability to command attention without excess.

At Ballentines, we go beyond the traditional standards of the 4Cs. Proportion, light behavior, symmetry, and setting precision are all considered in harmony to create something truly exceptional.

Ballentine isn’t simply creating jewelry—he’s redefining it for a new generation of icons.

The result is jewelry that feels intentional, elevated, and unmistakably personal.
This is not mass-produced luxury.
This is jewelry designed to be worn as a statement of identity.

Beyond standard. Beyond comparison.

“Jewelry is an art form—one that reflects identity, presence, and individuality. I create so our clients can express exactly that.”
