About Melissa Gray

Charleston jewelry designer, Melissa Gray, is best known for her monochromatic designs blending soothing natural colors and organic shapes.  Her distinctive style is described as ‘elegant simplicity’ and she designs pieces that are made for everyday life – from blue jeans to the little black dress.

The Daisy Collection is near and dear to Melissa’s heart as it’s named after and benefits her greatest passion, Daisy’s Place Retriever Rescue.  As founder and director of Daisy’s Place, Melissa dedicates much of her time and resources to saving and finding loving homes for abandoned and neglected Retrievers (Goldens, Labs and Retriever mixes) six years and older.  A portion of each sale from the Daisy Collection benefits the Daisy Dogs.

Her latest collection, Vintage Elements, features found treasures which Melissa upcycles into new designs.  Melissa’s love of nature is evident throughout this collection, featuring vintage leaves and flowers, and enhanced with fresh water pearls.

Melissa resides in Charleston where she draws inspiration from both the natural beauty of the Lowcountry and the artistic heritage of the historic city.  Melissa and her husband, Micheal, along with their beloved rescued fur children, live and work in a renovated 1840s grist mill in downtown Charleston.
