Joyful. Spirtual. Unique. Empowering. These are words that describe both the designer and her jewelry. Since the inception of her first line in 1997, Melissa Joy Manning has created a collection of unusual, modern designs that transcend stylist trends and attract a loyal following. Using gold, silver, semi-precious and precious stones and found objects, the collection blends traditional and modern jewelry by utilizing unconventional materials to create neoteric pieces. Our jewelry is hand made in our Oakland, California studio by artisans earning a living, working wage. We make all components of our heirloom quality jewelry using only the finest materials purchased from our trusted US-based suppliers. We believe in ethical business practices and green resources. Melissa Joy Manning jewelry is sold in our online store and can also be found in over 250 high-end boutiques and specialty department stores worldwide. The collection has been featured on numerous magazine covers and fashion spreads, in feature films, television programs and music videos. Melissa's celebrity clients include, among others, Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, Sheryl Crow, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Debra Messing, P!nk, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, Usher, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
