“Dear Melissa,
I wanted to take the opportunity to express how beautiful your jewelry is and how much I love my husband for having great taste! Last year it was the black onyx suite and this year, the fabulous tanzanite and diamond pendant. It is a fabulous piece and I’m proud to wear it as a true work of art.”

“Hello Melissa,
Simply had to write a thank you for your work on our ring recently. It came out beautifully. Your patience and craftsmanship are so appreciated. This ring will always mean so much to us, especially because the stones have a history. Love your store and can’t wait to work with you again. It’s so nice to find a jeweler who can be trusted, with your talent and warm spirit. Thanks for helping us make a dream come true.”

“Hi Melissa,
I am still amazed at the new creations you fashioned using the gems from my unworn jewelry. Such creativity is truly a gift... and indeed you do have the gift. Thank you so much for working with me on the designs. My daughters wear their rings constantly and always tell me about the positive remarks they receive from friends and often strangers. The Tahitian pearls have never looked more beautiful than they do nestled in their lovely, original settings that do not disturb or overwhelm the beauty of the pearl... they enhance them. Whether using my ideas or your ideas or a combination of both, you have succeeded in building lovely realities from mere thoughts and suggestions... these pieces are certainly priceless sentimental treasures. Take care and I hope to be able to see you soon.”
— Susan, Burlington NC

“Dear Melissa,
As the birth mother of my beautiful pearl pendant, I thought you would like to know that every time I wear this favorite piece of jewelry I get at least one comment from complete strangers. Add to that the people I know who think it’s the most elegant pearl setting they’ve ever seen. As an artist, you should be very proud.”

“Dear Melissa,
Last summer you designed a ring for my husband and I would just like to thank you again. The ring is absolutely beautiful and it is so comfortable to wear! I love it! What a joy you were to work with and we couldn’t imagine working with anyone but you! Thank you!”
— Pam, Salt Lake City UT
“Hi Melissa,
First some impression at home with the new pieces of art and beauty. Opening up the boxes again in the light of the day and the light of the house, revealed even more beauty than before as the contrast of yellow and white gold came out. That really brought out the preciousness. Helga turned the lapis piece and realized the versatility of it. Seeing different angles of how to place the piece on a garment, finding the impact changing with the turning of the piece. All balanced. The ammonite piece is so different in it’s beauty and playfulness. We are so glad you made the pieces for us and both are eager to see them worn. Very good job, pieces of art.”
— Julius and Helga, Burlington NC
“Melissa,
Hey! I never got a chance to follow up and tell you how much my sister liked the blue topaz ring and necklace that you completed. It’s truly beautiful and she couldn’t keep her eyes off it all day. Thank you for such great work and for being so easy to work with!”
— MARY, HILLSBOROUGH NC

“Hi Melissa,
I thought I would let you know how much I loved the piece my husband bought from you! It was the most wonderful Valentines Day gift, a surprise to me. Already my new piece is well traveled and much admired, she has been to Guernsey in the British Channel Islands and to Dubai and Fugheira in The United Arab Emirates. We are back in Florida now but we are off on trips again soon and my new piece will go too! As you can see my gift was a hit. Well done and best of luck to you.”
