JEWELRY DESIGNER PANEL: DESIGN WITH A DIFFERENCE

Melissa brings nearly 15 years of jewelry production and industry experience to the panel. Having worked in many facets of the industry and now currently  operating as a solopreneur, she has insights to the challenges and also rewards of her ongoing quest
to source materials as responsibly as possible.

As a Fairmined licensed brand, she believes that if jewelry is intended to be a meaningful and sentimental purchase, the raw materials that make up each piece of jewelry should also be selected with the same care and consideration as the design process.
