Michael Nguyen is an entrepreneur and the Founder of Fire & Brilliance who has dedicated most of his professional life to the beautiful world of jewelry.
He kicked off his career in sales within the financial services sector before ever marketing a single ring, bracelet, necklace or pair of earrings.
This was when he discovered that he had a natural talent in curating relationships, conveying relevance and building long-term business connections.
In his mid-20’s, Michael started his jewelry career by creating custom and unique pieces for his clients.
Michael was also an early adopter of lab-grown moissanite, diamonds and gemstones which led him to influence a movement that disrupted the traditional ways of doing “business as usual.”
Fire & Brilliance was nominated as one of Inc 5000’s fastest growing companies in both 2019 and 2020 with its unique approach.
As a graduate of the Gemological Institute of America, Michael is the host of the “Geminar” show where he provides relevant jewelry industry knowledge and insights.
Outside of running his business, Michael enjoys reading, staying in shape, spending time with great company and tasting all types of fire-burning hot sauces.
