IF YOU HAVEN'T DISCOVERED THE HANDMADE DESIGNER JEWELLERY OF MELINDA MULCAHY YET, YOU'RE IN FOR A REAL TREAT....

Fans of exquisite, modern and handmade contemporary designer jewellery will love the work of Melinda Mulcahy. Working out of her South Wales Studio, Melinda fuses her own Australian and Welsh heritage together to influence her work: the result is clever, beautiful and vibrant designer jewellery that you'll want to wear, give, keep and treasure.
Melinda's a die hard traveller, and her adventures around the world are reflected in her unusual, delicate, feminine pieces. She blends semi-precious gemstones with pearls, shells, corals and Venetian handblown glass, all finished on Sterling Silver, often with just a hint of sparkle from Swarovski Crystal. The result is a collection of striking necklaces, bracelets and earrings: each boasting originality and quality.
There is something for every taste, occasion and budget too, with more than 12 collections and a newly-launched Bridal Collection. Each ranged is based on, and inspired by, a city that Melinda has visited: Sydney to Venice, to Tahiti and Cannes. Now you can adorn yourself in unique pieces that evoke the feeling of far-flung places.
Melinda's trademark creations take full advantage of often exotic and rare materials, such as Chalcedony and Labradorite, feature carefully sourced and unusual cuts of stones and shell. Such a diverse selection of materials carefully handcrafted ensures that each piece is a limited edition, and carries the finishing touch of a silver authenticity charm, care instructions and designer packaging.
With a recently launched website where you can purchase online and more than 20 stockists across the UK, Melinda Mulcahy is undoubtebly making her mark in fashionable jewellery and is definitely one to watch.
