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.

They cast all my pieces in either gold or silver
Shop policies
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. :)
