about miles mcneel design
Thomas Diener is the creative force behind Miles McNeel Design. He has drawn his inspiration from making something extraordinary from the ordinary. At an early age he was asked to choose between music and fine art. Choosing the former, he has made a career as a performer on the concert stage but has always felt compelled to express himself in the visual arts. His love for gemstones and especially stones in the rough led to his development of a versatile concrete where he can create a palette of hues nature can only dream of...
“I was thinking of how I love the way stones look in matrix and geodes, and thought, how could you return faceted stones to their original setting? Having spent most of my life in New York City, I was walking one night in a shabby neighborhood when I turned the corner, and the sidewalk started to shimmer. There it was! Mica mixed with concrete. Of course the Romans had the right idea—concrete lasts centuries.”
His timeless iconic designs have become a must-have as they bridge the gap between fashion and fine jewelry. They fascinate both the wearer as well as the admirer.
