Hello! I’m Melanie, and I am a jewellery designer and maker. Born in Leicester to a family of busy fingered people I was always a maker of ‘things’. After taking an Art Foundation Course in Loughborough I discovered I particularly liked to work in small scale, so it seemed natural to them go on the School of Jewellery in Birmingham, where I gained a BA in Jewellery and Silversmithing in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter. I then decided to travel and spent a couple of years in Greece - hence the company name which means ‘red’ in Greek. I strive to create beautiful timeless pieces with a modern twist, using considered design and exquisite craftsmanship.
