MICHAEL WARREN

After 44 years of being a successful jewelry maker and entrepreneur, Michael accumulated both the skill sets and connections to envision and produce the most amazing product ever. At the age of 15, he started at the apprenticeship rate of $1.00/hour and nearly three years later Michael opened his own repair and then retail jewelry store in 1976. Working nearly night and day for 18 years making, repairing, and fitting jewelry to people’s needs. In 1994 he became a "Registered Jeweler" with the American Gem Society and in 2000 he became a Jewelers Of America "JA Certified Master Bench Jeweler"; the only person to hold both such titles. Then in 2001, he was awarded "Pennsylvania Bench Jeweler of the Year" by the Pennsylvania Jewelers Association.

Michael met his mentor Glenn Rothman, the visionary founder of "Hearts on Fire" diamonds, in 1997. Glenn's insight into branding, human nature, and the importance of paradigm change and reinvention in all aspects of life had a profound impact on Michael. The next 10 years came a series of highly successful "special projects" including both jewelry and non-jewelry. Michael purchased land and built a 57-lot subdivision. He made a functioning jet turbine engine ring for celebrity Jay Leno matching the full-size turbine jet car that Jay created. Following the Jay Leno project famous carmaker, Rob Ida, challenged Michael to build a special ring for a "Tucker Torpedo" an original Tucker Concept car that Rob was making. Michael offered that he could make a ring, which would match the car, open the door and start it as well.

Fast forward to 2012… Michael filed a patent for a wearable electronic device having an interface for electronic communication. He continued R&D work on his own and then with the support of his business partner, Oddie Leopando. Michael realized that the car door opening and starting, wearers’ heart rate and temperature, 911 and smart-home features, etc. were, in reality, a language that was being "spoken" directly to an enabled device or through their smartphone up to the cloud (ioT). The "action" Michael proposed was the same organic/intuitive swiping and tapping motion (through a series of capacitive discharge plates) that he had observed all his years of observation when Michael's clients would straighten, center, or spin their rings on their fingers with their thumb. The ring style as a piece of jewelry was reinvented to be stylish, and comfortable and not let on about its life-enhancing features. MuseRing is efficient, and covert and completes the necessary link (node) for singularity between people and the benefits of technology without getting your phone out.

Here's a peak at the future of Muse Ring...
