Melànie D Design Luxury Diamond Collection Brings a Personal Touch and Story to Jewelry

Melànie D. Design, a luxury diamond jewelry brand based in Atlanta, Georgia, will introduce its new collection on Saturday, January 14, 2017 at an exclusive location. The launch will give a sneak peek into the collection's unparalleled pieces, which are exquisitely crafted using the finest materials.

Melànie's artistic journey began with the loss of a diamond in a ring her mother gifted her after the untimely death of her father. Seeking to replace the unique stone, she located a jeweler in California to handle the repair. As Melànie conversed with the jeweler, he asked about the history of her ring—she shared the story of her father. The jeweler asked her to send him the ring and days later returned it to Melànie with the signature two teardrop diamonds once again in place.

The jeweler informed Melànie that there would be no charge for the repair, but instead he asked for one of her drawings in return. During the repair process, he noticed her incredible talent for design and asked for more jewelry sketches. "I started sketching and inspiration just took over," says Melànie.

Unique in concept, Melànie D. Designs are all custom made. From the beginning of the design process, clients share their personal stories and memories that evolve into one-of-a-kind, wearable works of art.

"Designing is a spiritual experience for me and every piece is a highly personal labor of love," says Melànie.

The Melànie D. Design debut collection includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings fit for any occasion. Distinct features include the exquisite details surrounding the mosaic pave design, and the Bird of Paradise Motif (Melànie's father's favorite flower) that she incorporates into several of her key pieces.

Is There A Better Way to See the World than in Aspire Eyewear?

Is it time for a post-Labor Day sunglasses makeover? With most summer shades looking worse for wear at this point in the year, Aspire Eyewear wearers are seeing an evergreen difference in their frames choice. In addition to offering a “barely there” fit and feel with eyewear that is lighter and thinner, the product is also stronger, and more pliable than anything else on the market. Created with hypoallergenic SDN-4, this proprietary material also offers shape memory, is heat resistant, and will not fade in UV exposure, which means these frames look great and perform well for a very long time.

And since Aspire Eyewear frames will still be in such great shape, the brand recommends paying a visit to your local optician and giving your sunglasses a lens upgrade, instead. Below are some tips on lens options that can make your world a little brighter...

Brown Tone Improves light adaptation in bright and low light situations, gives greater sharpness and contrast.  (Recommended for Cycling, Running and Golf.)
 
Orange Tone has a high intensity color that enhances the surrounding terrain by highlighting the upper end of mi-range light. (Recommended for Cycling and Golf.)
 
Green Tone enables natural colors to “POP.”  (Recommended for Cycling, Golf and Boating.)
 
Grey Tone enhances natural vibrant colors while providing even management of light across the entire visible spectrum of light. (Recommended for Boating, Tennis and hiking.)

Aspire Eyewear shown above: "Anonymous" in Blue.
