Melissa Joy Manning 14Karat Yellow "X" Hug Hoop Earrings (Pair)

Enigmatic and symbolic, the X can mean anything from a letter to a multiplication sign, to buried treasure. Recycled 14 Karat Gold Handmade in California Melissa Joy Manning has created a socially responsible fine jewelry brand featuring unique, modern designs influenced by her passion for travel, art, and culture. The line encompasses multiple collections including one-of-a-kind pieces, signature designs, and custom, non-traditional wedding jewelry. Each piece is handmade to order, in the MJM California or New York studios, by skilled artisans using traditional, time-honored techniques. Manning’s design development is not only meticulous and detail-oriented, but her production studio is also certified Green by the State of California. As the co-chair of the CFDA Sustainability Committee, and as an advisory board member to Lexus/CFDA Fashion Positive and Nest, Melissa continues not only to push the perceptions of precious, but also those of manufacturing processes in the fashion and jewelry worlds.
