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

Having launched her eponymous brand in 2013, Melissa Kaye experiments with form, function, and material, offering a fresh yet timeless approach to fine jewelry. Meticulously handcrafted in Kaye's native New York, her sophisticated yet unassuming pieces can either stand alone or be layered; the idea, according to Kaye, is that each should impart a "quiet sparkle."
