First Giveaway of Fall: Lemel Designs


THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED



Happy Friday everyone! So it's now officially fall, which kind of makes me sad, but then I thought what better way to put a smile on someone's face (and mine) than through a fabu giveaway? This week I'm so excited to tell you that the totally sweet and talented Melanie of Lemel Designs is giving one reader of Sogni e Sorrisi a chance to win a citrine and turquoise necklace. Amazing, right?


The native Texan is a college friend of one of my fave bloggers Bailey at Peppermint Bliss (who is currently enjoying her honeymoon) and has enjoyed a lifelong passion for jewelry. While at school Melanie worked at a jewelry store in Texas and after graduation took some time to travel to places like Australia and Bali before settling in Los Angeles (I know, lucky duck!)


After landing a job in sports marketing Melanie realized that her passion for jewelry and design couldn't be ignored and she enrolled in a night class at Otis School of Design in L.A. to learn more about the process of jewelry making.  Melanie's diverse experiences all find their way into the designs of her unique and delicate jewelry pieces, each of which is handmade with real stones and 14 karat gold fill. "I am inspired by my friends and the places I have been," Melanie explains, "and I have named each piece after a person or a place." (How cool to have something so beautiful named after/inspired by you!) Currently Melanie's gorgeous designs can be purchased at Charde in Houston and at Lemel Design's Etsy shop.


Melanie has been kind enough to offer a Lake Jane Necklace to one lucky winner. The necklace was named and inspired by one of the designer's favourite blogs and features a faceted citrine hanging from a 16" 14k gold fill chain dotted with delicate turquoise accent beads.
