Announcement
Hi! I’m Melissa Pedersen and welcome to my sterling silver garden! Inspired by the natural world around me, I create one of a kind rings, necklaces and earrings in solid sterling silver using traditional metalsmith techniques.
My biggest source of inspiration comes from my own backyard garden. I love to capture seeds, sprouts, flowers, and leaves and transform them into solid silver. It is important to me to treasure the good and hold onto the beautiful. I love hearing when my jewellery was given as a special gift of encouragement or as a celebration gift to mark a milestone or anniversary. It is an honour to create something that cherishes the big, happy moments in your life.
Most of my jewellery is ready to ship in 1 - 3 days. If you choose one of my custom made to order listings please allow for 3 - 4 weeks for me to make something just for you. Each of my jewellery pieces will arrive carefully packaged, pretty enough to give as a gift.

Inspiration straight from the garden. Little treasures I gathered for a sketchbook idea session.
Meet the artist - Melissa Pedersen
In 2009 I graduated from the Alberta College of Art & Design, I left with not only a fine arts degree (with Jewellery as my major!) but also with a strong sense of direction for my art and business. I love making jewellery, loosing track of time in my studio getting all caught up in the process and little details. In my sleep I dream about future designs, many times I wake up and need to grab my sketch book before I forget! Oh, and I am a tool junkie, my studio is well equipped to a variety of metal working styles and techniques.
Argentium sterling silver is my favorite material to work with, it has a slightly higher fine silver content as traditional sterling silver but it has great fusibility properties and stays cleaner as I work. It is also milled from 100% recycled silver!
As a stay at home mom (my boys are 9, 8 and 6) my studio is my outlet, my time to unwind get creative. I love being able to be home for my boys whenever they need, especially with my youngest who is entering grade one this year.
I was raised in a creative family, my mom continues to be a big part of my artistic journey. Feel free to check out her Etsy shop as well! www.Etsy.com/shop/cherieskibinskyart
I fill every role of the business myself from the original design and making the jewellery to photographing, marketing and webs design to shipping.
Thank you for checking out my shop and artistic adventures!

Returns and exchange details
As a one women shop, I not only design and create every single piece of jewellery. I also personally package and ship every single piece. Each pendant, ring or pair of earrings passes my own extremely high standards for quality and craftsmanship. I put a lot of time and care into writing accurate detailed descriptions alongside clear photos on variety of backgrounds and angles to give you confidence and ensure you will receive exactly what you expect!
It is important to me that you enjoy wearing your jewellery as much as I enjoyed making it. I do not take returns except for rare extraordinary circumstances. I’m happy to do exchanges, free to reach out and contact me. Please note return shipping (both ways) is the responsibility of the buyer for exchanges.

If you are local to Calgary (AB) and would like to pick up your jewellery in person I am willing to meet in NW Calgary. Contact me before you place your order to avoid shipping charges!

Care instructions
Please take care of your jewellery by avoiding harsh chemicals and store in an airtight container or plastic baggie to avoid premature tarnish. I recommend "sunshine" polishing cloths to keep the surface of your jewellery looking great.
