Vanessa Mellet

Vanessa Mellet was born to jeweler parents, drawing deep, creative inspiration from the vibrant cultures of Peru and Brazil where she spent her formative years. She apprenticed with Musi Hunt, studied metal smithing and casting with Dawn Nakanishi and enamel techniques with Sandie Bradshaw and Judy Stone. She hopes her colorful, heirloom quality jewelry brings beauty into your life.

All of Vanessa's creations are made by hand in her studio in Oakland, California or in Brazil, where she spends several months every year creating new designs.
