5 out of 5 starsMelody's gorgeous, high-quality jewelry is one-of-a-kind wearable artwork! The shapes, textures, compositions, and colors are calming to the eye, yet evocative and curious. Flexible in outfit pairings - dress it up or dress it down - suitable for a touch of everyday glam to reflect my creative, artistic personality. Melody's style and process of creating are different, which is why her work resonates with me - within it is a recognition of my own quirky differences which are worthy of celebrating and showing to the world. I will proudly wear my pieces as conversation starters that tell a story of handcrafted excellence reflecting unique personality.

"I design and create jewellery to bring joy and excitement to those who appreciate it!"
I am a Canadian metal artist who designs and creates precious art to adorn the body. I graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 1999 with Distinction, majoring in Jewellery and Metal. Working with sterling silver, anodized titanium, patinas, semiprecious and precious stones, and gold, I create jewellery that is influenced by nature, architecture, and fashion. My design philosophy of organic infused with industrial is demonstrated through a mix of natural shapes and geometric structures with great attention to detail and quality of workmanship. I reside in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, where I maintain a professional studio and am the Jewellery Instructor and the Artist in Residence at the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre.
"My objective has always been to transfer my emotions, creative passion and risk taking into my jewellery in an expressive way to arrive at exciting jewellery forms that elicit awe and inspiration, and personalize them in order to give my work a distinctive character.
My jewellery designs testify to the textural dynamic and technical volition behind my work, seemingly to have evolved from organic origins taking on an industrial influence. The ever changing interplay of colors and textures creates dynamic contrasts – evoking a vividness of exquisite dimensions – which is rich, alluring and of the utmost elegance."
I love creating statement rings, wedding rings, engagement rings, bridal jewelry, silver rings, gold rings, diamond rings, earrings, studs, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, cuffs, chains, brooches, pins, cuff links and men's jewelry!
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me on Etsy. I look forward to helping you!
Best Regards,
Melody Armstrong

Additional policies and FAQs
ANODIZED TITANIUM and NIOBIUM
Titanium and Niobium are reactive metals that have the unique properties of developing colored surface films when charged with small voltages of electricity through an electrolyte bath.
The reactive metal develops an oxide film of consistent, specific and uniform thickness. Once formed this film is inert and tends to remain unchanged.
The oxide film is incredibly thin, at any given voltage the film will grow to a specific thickness and stop. The different voltages are what determine the color.
Anodized Titanium and Niobium will change color from fingerprints and oils. You can remove these oils with soap and water and then dry with a soft cloth.
The reactive metals will return to their original vibrancy.
SILVER CARE
Shiny Sterling Silver can be cleaned with a jewellery cleaning cloth.
Sterling Silver with a Patina can be washed in mild soap and water, and dried with a soft cloth.
It can also be cleaned with a gentle jewellery cleaning cloth just rubbing the high spots and edges.
PATINA
Patina is a process used on Sterling Silver to create a sulfide layer. Using Potassium Sulfide dissolved in hot water, and dipping the jewellery piece, a full spectrum of colors develop from gold to purples and blues to a matte black, depending on how long it is in the solution.
These colored oxide layers are used to produce contrast and to enhance surface textures. Then the piece is sanded or burnished, leaving the colors in the low spots and exposing the shiny silver on the high points. This process produces rich and alluring jewellery pieces.
TRUE BRONZE
[90% copper 10% tin]
Shiny Bronze can be cleaned with a jewellery cleaning cloth.
Bronze is an alloy made of copper and tin, has a lovely warm golden color, and is an affordable alternative to 10 or 14k gold.
Bronze is durable, easy to clean, and will last for decades with proper care. And is a great option for beautiful and affordable jewelry.
One thing to keep in mind, the copper content of bronze can oxidize in combination with skin oils, creating a greenish layer of copper carbonate on skin.
This more often can occur with tight rings worn in hot weather, because of the lack of air circulation between your finger and the ring.
An easy fix is to coat only the inside of your piece with clear nail polish. This creates a barrier, preventing oxidation.
You can also minimize oxidation by taking your jewelry off at night and keeping it clean.
Bracelets have air circulation between your wrist and the bracelet, so should have minimal to no oxidation.
Bronze pendants worn over your clothes won't oxidize because they aren't in contact with your skin oils.
Like sterling silver, bronze will tarnish over time. I recommend cleaning with a jewellery polishing cloth.
ENAMEL
Is fused glass on metal and is fragile.
Be careful not to drop and avoid knocks to prevent cracks in the enamel surface.
STEEL COMPONENTS
It is important to keep the jewellery with steel dry to prevent rust formation.
PEARLS
The pearls most of us wear today are cultured pearls, their existence initiated by humans who insert a bead or other object into an oyster or clam. The clam coats the foreigner with nacre, the patina that gives pearls their unique appearance.
The depth of the nacre coating depends on the type of creature involved, the water it lives in, and how long the intruder is left in place before it is removed. As nacre thickness increases, so does the quality and durability of the pearl.
Caring for Your Pearls
Even cultured pearls with thicker coatings are more fragile than most other gemstones, so you must handle them carefully to keep them in the best condition.
•Your pearls will stay cleaner if you put them on after you've applied your makeup and perfume.
•Be sure to take off your pearl rings before you apply hand and body creams.
•Wipe your pearls with a soft, lint-free cloth as soon as you take them off. The cloth can be dampened with water or it can be dry. If damp, allow the pearls to air dry before putting them away.
•Dirty pearls can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution (try Ivory flakes).
•Never clean your pearls with solutions that contain ammonia or harsh detergents.
•Don't put pearl jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner.
•Don't use abrasive cleaners or rub pearls with abrasive cloth. Both can wear away the nacre coating, leaving you with a plain looking bead.
Storing Pearls
Don't store your pearls with other jewelry, because they can be scratched easily when metal or gemstones rub against them. Find a special slot in your jewelry box for the pearls, or keep them in a soft bag made from chamois or another non-abrasive material.
CUSTOM ORDERS:
Custom orders are Final Sales.
Payment is required to begin a project and is non-refundable.
The buyer will be given a time line for completion upon agreement of the project.
Please understand that custom orders are new creations, and will never be exactly like something before. Furthermore, my interpretation of your ideas may be different than you expect. I will do my very best to create a piece we are both happy with, and with our combined vision. As noted, custom orders are a final sale and I will do my best to fulfill my end of the bargain. But upon a disagreement, or cancellation of finished pieces, 50% of your payment will be non-refundable.
Also note from time to time the price of a custom piece may be higher than quoted, but you will be asked for approval for a higher price, if more work is agreed to be undertaken.
