- About Me:
- Melissa & Judy are a mother-daughter business team.
Melissa: I've worked in the corporate business world for years. I've always loved jewelry & accessories. I finished my business degree a few years ago and found myself with free time. So I decided to give jewelry making a try. I started just by making items for myself and then gave items as gifts to friends & family. After a few months, people began asking me how they could buy my jewelry and the rest is history....
I really love making jewelry. It gives me a great creative outlet and has given me an opportunity to work closely with my mother and she's a wonderful partner.
Judy: I was a recipient of some of Melissa's early jewelry and wore it proudly. A lot of people asked me where I had gotten it. Of course I said, "my daughter made it". As time passed, her skills improved and the jewelry became so beautiful thatI decided to try to sell some at my office and people loved it. I have repeat customers who continuously ask for new items or ask her to design items.
I experimented with photography many years ago and was surprised at how much knowledge I had retained. It seemed to just come back to me when I volunteered to photograph Melissa's jewlery for the website. Once I got some good shots I was hooked. I have also enjoyed helping to post the items on the website. I love working with Melissa.

Got Inspiration? Check out the inspirational hip hop & R&b song “I Will Make It” by Niva feat Kamal Imani
“I Will Make It” inspires you to keep the faith and believe in yourself! What more can we say! Keep your spiritual energy up and rock to this. And, remember to look to the person on your left and on your right and tell them “I Will Make It”! Can I get an AMEN?

I am just stopping by to say that I was interested in your profile and I hope that we will be able to connect in the future.
I have a national network in the UK working around leadership and enterprise and therefore, very keen to network with like minded, aspirational business owners and professionals. You can visit me at www.sistatlk.co.uk and get a snapshot of the work that I am currently doing in the UK.
I look forward to connecting and sharing, so please take the time to add me as your friend and let’s network.
