Zedena Designs

I have discovered this great jewlery designer out of California.

Ever since Melissa Williams Netherton was a young girl, her love for jewelry was apparent. Her grandmother, Zedena, and she used to play Home Shopping Network together which consisted of Melissa raiding her grandma’s jewelry box and then “selling” back her favorite pieces. Melissa’s designing days began when her grandmother, Barbara, brought home some multi-colored telephone wire which she used to wrap into rings and bracelets. Her designs have evolved since then to include enamel, copper, sterling and fine silver, genuine Swarovski crystals, and semi-precious stones. She is a Rio Grande Certified PMC Artisan and has also studied traditional metalsmithing,  lampworking, fused glass, and, of course, her passion which is enameling.  Each piece in the Zedena Designs line is hand-designed and handcrafted by Melissa.  In addition to her current available collections she also does custom designs for bridal parties, companies, and individuals. 

These are my favorites -

So much symbolism in this autumn tree - it is beautiful and eerie at the same time. Suspended on a silver chain with a slight shine -

It is said that "into every life a little rain must fall" and here is a little drop of rain -a Swarovski crystal emerging from a cloud -

A beautiful baby blue seahorse will remind you of summer when autumn leaves begin to fall...

My favorite jewelry that Zedena offers is her custom designs. They're Picture Perfect Pendants. A logo, a picture, a message or even an inspiring word is printed in glass enamel on a pendant and you can carry it with you everywhere.

Below is the pendant -
