About Melanie Woods Jewellery

About Melanie Woods

Melanie grew up in the country town of Gunnedah, where her creativity was nurtured in a home filled with artistic energy. 

Melanie began crafting her clothes and accessories from a young age to complement her unique style, sparking a lifelong passion for design.

In her early twenties, Melanie moved to Sydney and joined a notoriously vibrant household of 30 thespians, where creative expression was fully embraced. It was here that she crafted her first collection of handmade jewellery, which led to her retail partnerships with Dotti and other local stores.

Her late twenties were spent between India and France, where she immersed herself in the arts, cuisine, and timeless cultural traditions. These experiences honed her eye for quality and instilled in her a love for the finer things in life. 

Returning to Australia in her early thirties, Melanie was ready to grow, and merge her love of art and travel into a wholesale jewellery business. She embarked on a journey through India and Indonesia, sourcing stones, pearls, shells and silversmiths to manifest her vision.

Her business quickly grew, with five trade fairs a year, a large showroom in Melbourne, and a dedicated team of representatives selling her collections across the country.

After two decades of success, Melanie longed for a break in the pace, so she moved from Melbourne to the Northern Rivers region, where she now resides. The Northern Rivers community is rich in inspiration, and Melanie’s jewellery is designed to be the finishing touch to reflect your unique splendour.
