Melissa Kaye brings fine jewelry into the present moment with unexpected details. Highlighter-hued accents, for example, are juxtaposed with white diamonds for a modern twist on traditional accessories.

Having launched her eponymous label in 2013, Melissa Kaye draws inspiration from geometry and mathematics – her background is in computer science and finance. Her striking pieces can either stand alone or be layered; the idea, according to Kaye, is that each should impart a "quiet sparkle."
