I shall be away from 10th November 2024 until late in December so I will be unable to post any pieces until my return. If you purchase something during that time please be aware that I cannot send it straight away. Many thanks for your patience!

Melissa creates individually designed and hand made contemporary jewellery using responsibly sourced semiprecious stones, recycled silver, gold and beaten metals

Jewellery Designer

For over 25 years I have been making and designing jewellery using stones collected and sourced carefully from all over the world, incorporating them with sea glass, silver, copper and brass and, sometimes, with old brooches or other artefacts.

I enjoy working with ideas garnered from the natural world. The colours of the seasons dictate the colours used in making a new piece, as do ideas put forward by customers when commissioning pieces.

Finding new stones is a constant joy and excitement. Shape and texture are an important element in the finished design.
