About Melanie

Melanie was born and raised in the country town of Gunnedah, where her creativity was nurtured in a home filled with artistic energy. With her father as an inventor of alternative electrical energy charging systems and her mother leading costumes and makeup at the local theatre company. Melanie's childhood was a wonderland of creativity. She began crafting her clothes to complement her lanky frame and 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. During this period, she collaborated with her mother to create exhibitable jewellery collections.

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, for a dip into serenity to encourage serendipity.  So she moved from Melbourne to the Northern Rivers region, where she now resides in Lismore. Here, in her home studio, she continues to create with joy and passion. The Northern Rivers community is rich in inspiration, and deep authentic relationships.  Melanie’s jewellery is designed to be the finishing touch to reflect your unique splendour.
