Melissa’s Portfolio

As an innovative artist who works with fine gemstones and gold, Melissa produces distinctive fine jewelry. Using a wide range of materials and techniques, she creates intriguing pieces that evoke ideas of art deco architecture, nature and the human figure.

Melissa’s intention is to work with the material instinctively, creating a new perspective and ever-growing appreciation for the material. Each piece is individually crafted in gold using hand tools and old world techniques of forging, piercing, forming and lost wax casting.
