Jewelry designs by Melissa Cox with over a decade of experience in creating jewelry with precious metals, genuine Swarovski, leather, genuine gemstones, seaglass and vintage finds. The jewelry line was started with recycled items such as vintage silver flatware and continued with other eclectic items such as real spent bullets, and recycled aluminum.
The love of working with mixed metals and metalsmithing is constantly changing with new items added almost daily, so come back often. We are constantly working on our online store. Please check out my galleries to see items that could be ordered.

Fun eco-friendly jewelry created with recycled aluminum. This is a great alternative to silver as it is lightweight, comfortable, resistant to tarnishing and perfect if you are allergic to sterling silver. Each design is created by hand, free form with no templates so expect a slight variation with each one.
Artfully crafted in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. I unknowingly started my love for jewelry as a child searching for treasures at the beach, local streams and rivers gradually adding to my collection. I started playing around with beads and wire-wrapping as a hobby and it soon transformed into a business.
Rita's bags are not only full of wonderful pockets, they are also luxurious with leather as soft as butter. Each bag is created with love and creative design. Rita also sells her wonderful bags on Etsy. Check it out!. The Animal Bags are a hit! Not only are the front animals adorable but they are also a pocket for your cell phone/keys!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
I have known Melissa's jewelry for years. I am always impressed with her ability to adopt new styles, trends, and techniques to her craft. Her flexibility and knowledge really show in her final product. Everything is unique and designed with care. Her studio is a relatively unknown local artisanal gem in western North Carolina.
