MELINDA MARIA DESIGNS was created by Los Angeles based designer, Melinda Maria Spigel and debuted in Spring 2005. Glamorous, artistic, unique. Melinda works closely with the craftsmen to ensure that each stone is cut, set and treated like a diamond to preserve the excellence and quality of her line. This rare attention to detail and quality has been key to the company’s success. The raw and organic style makes pieces feel one of a kind and the quality allows the jewelry to be handed down for years to come.With a knack for repurposing, and a passion for artistry, Melinda Maria turned her childhood obsession — making jewelry from whatever she could get her hands on — into a successful global brand. The designer takes pride in creating gorgeous pieces that make women feel "beautiful and confident.” Her rings, necklaces, bangles, cuffs, and earrings feature lots of delicate filigree, glittery gemstones in striking color combinations, uneven edges, hammed textures, and asymmetrical shapes. With a list of celebrity fans that includes Kate Hudson, Eva Longoria, and Nicole Richie, it's no wonder Maria has been dubbed "Hollywood's Bling Queen."
