Vanessa Mellet believes that handmade objects carry a unique energy—the care and intention of the maker can be felt in each piece. Across cultures, jewelry has long held meaning as a way to express identity, celebrate color, and pass memories through generations. These small treasures often become cherished heirlooms.
Each piece is handcrafted by Vanessa in her Oakland, California studio. If a design isn’t in stock, she makes it to order. With a deep commitment to sustainability, she creates heirloom-quality jewelry designed to last, offering an alternative to disposable fashion.
Vanessa designs and fabricates all her own components, prioritizing domestic, handmade production with a low environmental impact. Choosing her work supports a more thoughtful and responsible approach to adornment.
