Melissa Joy Manning jewelry is hand made in her Berkeley, California studio. Her limited edition, wearable artwork is eclectic and modern. Using gold, silver, semi-precious and precious stones, and found objects, her eclectic jewelry line blends traditional and modern jewelry by utilizing unconventional materials to create neoteric pieces. By creating unusual, limited edition pieces, she hopes her jewelry transcends stylistic trends. Melissa relies heavily on our natural environment for inspiration, commonly using crystal, quartz, and fossils to create unique jewelry inspired by the earth. Her work has been featured in numerous fashion magazines, feature films and television shows.
