Melinda Maria
Life is too short to wear boring jewelry. Melinda started making jewelry as a little girl, breaking up her mom’s jewelry to make her own designs. In her early 20s, she moved to LA with no money and no connections, making and selling one piece at a time to women waiting in line at Starbucks. But little girls with big dreams become women with vision, and Melinda Maria Jewelry launched in 2005. Ever since then, Melinda Maria has blown up into one of the coolest and most treasured modern jewelry brands. Melinda's designs are worn every day by the biggest A-list celebrities, influencers, and empowered women taking on the world. With pieces loved by Oprah, the Kardashians, Taylor Swift, and more, Melinda has earned the title of E!’s “Hollywood’s Bling Queen”. Whether on the red carpet or in the school carpool, Melinda’s jewels make you feel luxurious, sexy, edgy, and classy without worrying about the price. Through it all, Melinda’s passion is to support women and causes by partnering with inspiring charities to make a loving impact in people’s lives, including Beauty Bus, Chrysalis, A Sense of Home, The Name Campaign, and many others. Empowered women empower other women, and Melinda is grateful to be able to use the company to give back.
