Lynne’s turquoise pendant

Lynne brought me this pendant that was on a leather rope and asked me if I could make

her a real necklace for it.  The design that I came up with includes turquoise

teardrop beads, Czech crystals and azure quartz.

         

Joanne’s Shell Pendant

Joanne picked up this pendant on a trip to Italy with her son several years ago. She had never

worn it because she didn’t have the right necklace.  For her I combined a larger

Freshwater pearl with citrines and sterling silver beads.

 

“Melanie's designed and handcrafted jewelry is exquisite.  She creates pieces with exceptional attention to

aesthetics and detail.  I have bought a number of pieces from her and without exception all are lovely

and a nice addition to my accessories.  Melanie also creates custom special occasion and formal jewelry. 

The custom jewelry that she has made for me has exceeded all of my expectations and

I plan to send as much work her way as possible.  Melanie is a true artisan.”

Bonny’s Leaves

Bonny asked me to take a strand of glass leaf beads that she purchased at local craft store and

combine it with other beads to create a gradation of red to orange. The findings are all gold-filled which adds

to the warmth of the piece. I am particularly fond of the earrings’ design.
