Are you team coffee ☕ or team tea 🍵?
Loved working on this custom design for the Eastern Shore Coastal Roasting Co. – it’s stained with their coffee!
This design is exclusively available through ESCR and is the perfect gift for the coffee lover in your life.
Melissa Lew jewelry can now be found at the JANM Store in Los Angeles! Their award winning museum and gift shop is currently closed, but you can still support their mission by purchasing through their online store: https://janmstore.com/
Cherry blossom season is my favorite time of year here in the DC area – from the gorgeous blossoms to the symbolism to all of the amazing events (pre-COVID of course) – there is something for everyone! Even though it is cold outside right now, you can keep the magic of the blossoms with you year round with my new cherry blossom necklace and earrings, exclusively available through the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

Just announced – the 2021 Pantone colors of the year are PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating.
“A message of happiness supported by fortitude, the combination of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is aspirational and gives us hope. We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter – this is essential to the human spirit.” (read more…)
Want cheerful office art? I created an 8″x8″ print in honor of these colors – click here to download. I hope it brings you joy and is a reminder of hope for this coming year. Please share with others!
This coming Sunday, I will be participating in the virtual DCFempreneur community holiday party with a selection of designs ready for immediate shipment. Meet other local entrepreneurs, make some connections, and have a lot of fun and some laughter along the way.

Museums are vital for the communities they serve – they provide access and foster appreciation and knowledge of the arts, nature, science, history, and so much more. They spark the imagination and inspire many to pursue their dreams. Today is #MuseumStoreSunday! If you’re looking for unique gifts (many are even exclusive to the institution) that are highly curated and mission specific, please keep your local museums in mind. Now, more than ever, they can use your support. As a child, I dreamed of someday having my art in a museum. And now it is! You can find my work at a number of museums across the country, including The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, AsiaStore at Asia Society, the Japanese American National Museum, and the USC Pacific Asia Museum. Happy shopping and thank you for supporting their work!
Happy Small Business Saturday! Thank you for shopping small this holiday season. When you purchase a Melissa Lew piece, an actual person does a little happy dance. And that person is me!
Each handcrafted necklace is designed, made, and packaged by me in my studio in South Riding, Virginia. They come with meaningful cards and enclosures for easy gifting and there are a variety of messages to help you find the right words.
If you need help picking out a gift, please let me know. I’d love to help!
