About Melissa Lew

Hello! My name is Melissa, the founder and designer of this jewelry line. I started my namesake studio in the beautiful hills of Virginia in 2005. Born and raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, I am inspired by travel and my love of the outdoors. My eco-friendly, handmade, durable pieces are made for life’s adventures – these lightweight designs are easy to wear and they are also easy to care for. Stainless steel is tarnish resistant, so they display beautifully without any polishing. Each piece I create harnesses the beauty and joy of nature. They celebrate what we love, turning moments into tangible memories that we can keep close to our hearts. Melissa Lew jewelry is consciously handmade from a variety of eco-friendly materials. All cards are printed on recycled stock with vegetable inks. I am a proud partner of One Tree Planted; a tree is planted for every necklace or bracelet sold. I am a member of MSA (Museum Store Association) and ZAG (Zoo, Aquarium & Garden Buyers Group); I am also a certified Small, Micro, Woman Owned, Minority Owned Business in Virginia (SWaM #708045).Read their story
