From New York to Paris on an Italian Vessel

I was always drawn to jewelry and gemstones since I was young. Growing up, I was surrounded by gorgeous colorful gemstones helping in the family business and my mother created fabulous jewels for herself using these stones.

After working in the "corporate" world I decided to jump ship and immerse myself into this magical world. I studied the lost wax process of jewelry making and fabrication in New York and later moved to Florence, Italy to earn my gemologist degree.

I use mostly colored gemstones, semi-precious beads and rocks, raw stones, silver, and gold in my designs and am so grateful that Etsy allows me to offer my work to the world. Having a global network is very important since travel and curiosities are what inspire me. My work has been sold in Italy, Paris, and New York and through Etsy I can add Australia and all over the US to those localities. I truly love designing and manufacturing jewelry and it's extremely rewarding when someone else loves your work too.

When in Florence, I discovered the greek word "Mejia" pronounced "May-ah". This word is said to you by a friend or shop keeper after you buy something for yourself or are given a gift. It means "wear it in good health" and I thought it to be appropriate to use this word to name my jewelry line. So when anyone buys a piece of jewelry from my shop, they are wished "Mejia", wear this jewel in good health and happiness.

Mejia is the greek word for "wear it in good health". When someone buys something new for themselves or is given a gift, it is customary that this word is said to you by either a shop keeper or the person giving you the gift. This saying represents my jewelry perfectly because ultimately I want the jewelry to give you joy and to be worn and passed down from generation to generation. And moreover, for you to feel happy and confident when wearing a hand crafted piece of Mejia jewelry.
I create everything myself and cast in silver, platinum silver, and gold. I hand make all my jewels using the age old technique of lost wax. This gives my pieces a unique hand made feel and no two pieces are the same.
If you have any questions please message me and I'll get back to you ASAP since I live, breathe, eat, and sleep jewels and jewelry. :)
