handmade mixed-material necklaces made to order.

As a fiction writer, jewelry designer, and fashion blogger, Melissa Sonico has combined her love of style and creative expression into a singular aesthetic that is minimalistic but unique. Outside of crafting handmade necklaces (using polymer clay, copper, leather, etc.), she spends her time writing both short fiction and freelance essays/articles, teaching college English, and starting a family with her husband in Southern California with the hopes of opening a small, curated workshop/studio to showcase both her own work as well as that of fellow independent designers.
