My name is Melissa. I'm the original creator of colored resin filigree jewelry. I brought my never seen before style of jewelry to Etsy in 2007. I never had any formal art training...just a lot of visions of beauty. I was a lonely kid growing up, in and out of group homes and residential centers....for me creating something was just a way to be happy :-)

In the past year I was honored to have one of my piece's featured in the Miley Cyrus film "So Undercover". My pendant was worn by Lauren Mcknight during the film. It was a very cool experience....my pendant was actually included in the story line.

In 2013 my filigree heart locket was worn by Rashida Jones on Parks and Recreation. She wears my locket in season 6.....again, my locket was part of the storyline.

Though over the years there's a bunch of other Etsy sellers who have tried to imitate my work, I really appreciate my customers noticing how much time I take to make sure my craftsmanship is the best. When you create your own techniques/style of jewelry, you set the bar high. Over the years I've created about 7 different techniques that I use to create my pieces....some require carving, tinting, pouring, coloring, layering and heating. I hope eventually to write a book about my techniques and share them with the community but I'm not ready yet :-)

My best accomplishment of them all is being able to create pieces for my Etsy customers on a daily basis...you have made my dreams come true! I've had some of the most amazing, kind customers....I appreciate it soooo much! Thank you!

Melissa
