Welcome to 42 designs! Just like the world around me, there are manny changes this past year for the shop! Started as a jewelry line with a beautiful luxe boho vibe. 42 designs is expanding into made-to-order custom merchandise. We are starting with our #badass Morse Code t-shirt, with more to come soon!
My style is somewhere between the preppy of my Delaware hometown and the wind-swept vibe of my OBX summer haunts. Mix in a bit of my Texas home with the wanderlust that continually takes me to new places around the world, and you'll find the unique, bohemian, free spirit style of '42 designs'.
Why 42? Well...42 is a literary reference. It is the answer to the ultimate question. And what is the ultimate question? Well, now, that is an interesting conversation... Join me on this journey to find that answer - I’m sure we will have alot of fun along the way.
Any questions?? Just ask!! I'm happy to help.

5 out of 5 starsMelissa's items are always a gem to wear and she is one of the best owners I've met. She is always willing to work with me if I have an idea or want a shorter chain and I always get compliments when wearing her art.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely in love with this piece of jewelry! Looks exactly as in the picture here and goes with so many dressing styles.
The necklace came on time in very pretty packaging with a note from the maker and would make a perfect gift for family and friends!
Melissa is fun to work with and helps with customized requests too! -

About 42DesignsStudio
Welcome to 42 designs!
42 designs is my design journey to answer the ultimate question. And what is the ultimate question, you ask? Well, that is the journey; no doubt. And if you get that, then you get me.
I can't remember the first time I handcrafted something. Dreamed it up in my head, and created it. Creations of all kinds. Things. In the summer when my friends would go to camp, I would go to my grandparents. My grandmother taught me to sew, to paint, to craft, to create, to dream up all the things that I could make. The artist in me took flight!
Some of my creations I would keep; others I would give away. My family and friends know this all too well - Christmas, birthdays and special events deliver the next creation. Revealing when the artist in me got out and created. It is from this basis that 42 designs was born.
Each piece in my collection is hand crafted by me. From concept to creation; this is my own. I use only beads that I believe to be of good quality; that I would wear myself. With these high standards, I choose semi-precious beads, quartz and limestone, lamp worked glass and Czech crystal. Funky one-of-a-kind glass and crystal beads along with vintage baubles make my creations beautiful and unique. The metals are sterling silver, brass or pewter. Any plastic beads are a re-use of vintage beads that I have collected in the journey. The ’42’ hang tag is hand-stamped, vintage brass.
Today, I am a cube dweller with a secret life. Project manager by day; designer by night. World traveler across 25 countries and 5 continents, with a bucket list for many more. An avid collector of moments and memories, believing that there is something to be learned from everyone and every thing encountered. I weave these things into my creations. Life is about the journey; not the destination.
I hope you enjoy my designs as much as I enjoyed creating them.
