They are Finally Here!!

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to announce the newest additions to Melissa's Jewelry & Accessories! If you've been keeping updated on the MJ&A Facebook Fan page, then you probably already know that the braided leather cord wrap bracelets are IN! They are available in 11 colors, including light pink, white, dark pink, orange, red (not shown here), light blue, brown, green, black, yellow, and royal blue (darker than the photo shows).

These wraps will be available in 2 wraps, or 3, with a variety of customizations available. Clasps are available in alloy metal, and silver plated, as well as sterling silver for special order.



Now, this is what I am really excited about! We are now offering Handstamped rings! These are available in sizes 5-13, and in a variety of styles - Checkout our Facebook fan page for introductory pricing!
You can have anything stamped on these, and the wider bands can also have 2 lines.

Custom Jewelry For Every Budget?

Have you ever found something you loved on website, and thought to yourself, "Hmm.. I love this, but don't love that price.."? I think we've all been there. While it is nice to splurge on something you love, every once in a while, we all know that isn't always possible. That is why Melissa's Jewelry & Accessories is not only committed to making custom jewelry you will love, but jewelry that you can afford

Have you ever wondered why our slogan is "Custom Jewelry For Every Style, Budget, & Occasion"? Well, that is because most pieces that are available, are available in a variety of materials, therefore also in a variety of prices; and sometimes, even customers find all these choices overwhelming!

Take these necklaces for example; they are extremely similar pieces. Other than the different chains, and the thickness of the pendants, (and the obvious stamping) they are pretty much exactly the same. However, you would be amazed to know the price difference! 


(Please note that prices are not shown, because they are subject to change at any given time due to the price of silver constantly changing - Updated prices can always be found at www.MelissaJewelryAcc.com)

The piece on the left is sterling silver. The pendants are 16 x 16 mm by 2mm thick (12 gauge) on a 2mm, 20" sterling silver ball chain.

The piece on the right includes two pendants; 16 x 16 x 24 gauge. The pendants are sterling silver-filled, hung on a sterling silver plated link chain. This piece costs less than half of the one on the right, and can still be customized with different options.

This particular necklace is also available in (you might want to take a breath before reading this!) a thinner sterling silver, thick sterling silver plated (which would look identical to the one on the left), thin sterling silver plated, gold plated, gold filled, nickel-silver, brass, pewter as well as the thick sterling silver, and silver-filled shown, in prices that range from $16.00-$76.00+. Each material is also available in several different sizes, on a variety of different chains.


Another example that I'd like to share, would be this Bridesmaid bracelet. The most expensive option would be the sterling silver bracelet, with the sterling silver charm. For about half of that price, you can get the sterling silver plated, with the sterling silver charm - These look exactly the same. For even less, you can also get the silver plated with the pewter charm, and for even less than that, you can get the antique silver, with the pewter charm. 



See what I mean? You can own great jewelry without emptying your wallet! Melissa's Jewelry & Accessories makes that easy! Don't hesitate to ask for cheaper options next time you inquire about a piece. Also, not all options are always available on the website, but don't be afraid to ask, because other options are always available.
