Company description
Melanie Casey is a professional jewelry artist. She currently works with a small team of assistants from her studio just outside of Boston, MA, where they forge Melanie’s original designs by hand. Melanie’s designs are delicate and feminine, showcasing sparkling, colorful gemstones and 14k gold. Much of Melanie’s creative process involves carving her designs from wax by hand, achieving the organic shapes and curves that make her designs so unique. Once the wax carvings are complete, they are cast into 14k gold. The metal is then brought from its raw state to bright, shining pieces of fine jewelry. Melanie and her team source and set their own gemstones, and do all of their own detail work and polishing. Aside from casting and engraving, all aspects of the jewelry-making process are done in-house. This ensures that the same quality is maintained for every single piece of jewelry that is created. Above all else, Melanie focuses on value for her clients, and strives to create spectacular heirloom-quality jewelry that will be cherished for years to come.
Here at Melanie Casey, we believe in using only ethically mined gemstones and environmentally friendly materials. Our white diamonds are sourced from two highly trusted leaders of the diamond industry, who guarantee that our diamonds are conflict-free. Our gemstone dealers are members of the American Gem Trading Association, which maintains a strong commitment to ethical practices.
We also believe in using ethically mined metals for our designs. Our major U.S.-based metal supplier is SCS certified, ensuring that they are independently certified as using 100% recycled metal.
We make a particular effort to purchase supplies from U.S.-based small businesses. Our gift boxes and wrapping, packaging supplies, tools, and other materials support small American businesses around the country.
