Mélange Jewelry

Mélange Jewelry was started more than 15 years ago by me. I've lived in New York, NC and finally my husband and I live in sunny Las Vegas. I have been designing and fabricating jewelry since I was a little girl. I would take the unused jewelry out of my mother's jewelry
box and take it apart and remake it using kitchen utensils and my father's pliers -- crude but effective.

I put my ideas into a drawing before I bring them to reality. I try to create jewelry that is appealing to people who appreciate Jewelry Art.  Contrast and Balance, Harmony and Opposition are words that have been used to describe some of my work. My inspiration comes from visual experiences I have in everyday life, especially colors from nature, childhood memories, natural “old” structures, shapes and brilliant colors of fruit, and unique human characters.  

I started out creating a few small pieces of Jewelry for friends and co-workers.  Now, I do festivals in and around Las Vegas and I am  expanding my show participation each year.  Make sure to look at the schedule for a current festival at a location near you.

I hope you enjoy wearing my handmade jewelry as much as I enjoy making it.
