Quality and affordability. That’s what you’ll get from Melinda Maria’s jewelry. This timeless jewelry line, made of sterling silver, 18-karat gold plating and beautifully cut stones, is now available at Bloomingdales in Town Center at Boca Raton. It’s reasonably priced, so you can build up a treasured collection – plus it’s crafted well enough to pass on to future generations.
The line includes earrings, rings, pendants and bracelets in a number of collections. Probably the best known is the signature Pod collection, pieces of structured concave ovals fixed in intricate assemblies.
The designs are a favorite of countless A-list celebrities including Emma Stone. Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts. They’ve been all over the media, featured as one of Oprah’s favorite things and in shows like Gossip Girl and X-Factor. Designer Melinda Maria has even been dubbed “The Queen of Bling” by E! entertainment television.
The pieces may not be fine jewelry, but they’re about as close as you can get to the real deal. Made in India by craftsmen who typically only make and set fine jewelry, the finished product is more delicate and eye-catching than other costume jewelry out there.
Melinda Maria is completely self-taught. Since she was a little girl she couldn’t keep her hands out of her mother’s jewelry box. As a teenager she started designing pieces for her and her friends. She took off from there, starting her own jewelry company in her 20s. Since its debut in 2005 the line has taken off as a must have accessory around the world.
“My hope is that my jewelry reminds you to sparkle, to follow you passion, and follow the life you dream,” she writes on her website. “I want to make you feel beautiful, sexy, and unstoppable.”
