About Me:

Melissa & Judy are a mother-daughter business team. Melissa: I've worked in the corporate business world for years. I've always loved jewelry & accessories. I finished my business degree a few years ago and found myself with free time. So I decided to give jewelry making a try. I started just by making items for myself and then gave items as gifts to friends & family. After a few months, people began asking me how they could buy my jewelry and the rest is history.... I really love making jewelry. It gives me a great creative outlet and has given me an opportunity to work closely with my mother and she's a wonderful partner. Judy: I was a recipient of some of Melissa's early jewelry and wore it proudly. A lot of people asked me where I had gotten it. Of course I said, "my daughter made it". As time passed, her skills improved and the jewelry became so beautiful thatI decided to try to sell some at my office and people loved it. I have repeat customers who continuously ask for new items or ask her to design items. I experimented with photography many years ago and was surprised at how much knowledge I had retained. It seemed to just come back to me when I volunteered to photograph Melissa's jewlery for the website. Once I got some good shots I was hooked. I have also enjoyed helping to post the items on the website. I love working with Melissa.
