Allyson Mellone is my namesake jewelry brand created in 2011. After a few years of experimentation I developed a line of jewelry that reflects an elegance I call "Modern Day Grace." My design aesthetic mixes the intricacy and beauty of nature with the eloquence, femininity, and casualness of the 1960s. I intend my jewelry to be a renewable source of inspiration for women every day of their lives.

I started my jewelry making journey in the early 2000s when my sister Deborah made for me a pair of wire-wrapped earrings. I quickly fell in love with their handmade style whose essence celebrated the freshness of nature and life. I've worn those earrings ever since then like a sisterly badge-of-honor.

I strive to create pieces through free and simple metalsmithing processes. This results in each piece being elegantly designed and finished with the imprint of handmade quality. Each piece I make has subtle variations and imperfections, details akin to physical birthmarks of the creative process itself.

My jewelry is an adornment that is more than skin deep. For me, it transmits beauty, fosters identity, and enhances inner being.
