After her daughter got a little older in age she expanded the business and now it is at its current size and state, and producing the quality works it now does.

Many of Gail’s pieces are simplistic and geometric in their nature, which just adds to their beauty. This makes them have appeal to a wide age group and makes them compatible with any wardrobe and acceptable wear for any occasion.

Multi Strand Pearl Necklace

She even makes a few personalized pieces, such as the personalized seed beads and heart charm in one of her collections. Her necklaces go from the simple to multistrand, ornate complications that are absolutely stunning. Most of these multistrand creations feature pearls and sometimes Swarovski crystals. As for her variety in offerings, she even makes a few unusual categories, such as eyeglass holders, pendants, and anklets.

One of the most unusual items Gail offers is her children’s collection. Most handmade jewelry makers are focusing on an adult audience only and do not take into consideration any other age group. Gail started her business because of her daughter and years ago worked for Disney so her mind is very child oriented.

Turquoise with Mother of Pearl Necklace

This is evident in her children’s collection. Some of the offerings include a pair of necklaces for best friends to share, a mother/daugher set of necklaces, a glass-enclosed flower, and a teddy bear necklace. There is also a terrific child’s charm bracelet available and a seed bead bracelet that are kid-minded. Other kid interests are represented in the collection, such as necklaces with horses, dogs, cats, and butterflies. Some of the pieces are quite simplistic in nature and are just child sized, but still it is unusual to find a jewelry designer with their mind to the child audience. Gail Melichar does an outstanding job and presents a number of appealing offerings for kids.

Zig-Zag Turquoise Glass Bead Bracelet

Another feature of her site is handmade wedding jewelry. Amny handmade jewelry designers refrain from this area but she deos not. Her selection is extensive, offering items not just for the bride but also for the maid of honor, bridesmaids, and flower girl. Most of her wedding jewelry is based on combinations of pearls, Swarovski crystals, and clear quartz. This particular part of the site gives extensive listings but also a personal message from Gail. She deos not want a bride to wear what everyone else is wearing! These are ideas and she wants clients to contact her directly to begin the design process for custom items. No other designer is as open minded and has such a broad scope of offerings for children and wedding jewelry!
