To view more of this shoot Melissa Curry shoot
Melissa Curry a Jewellery and Accessories Designer. Melissa studied art and design in Paris. Her extensive travels throughout Africa and Asia helped her develop her talent for form and colour and her appreciation and love of jewellery.
Her first show in Paris Fashion Week in 1998 brought her work to Japan, New York and London with clients such as Barneys, Yohji Yammamoto, Phillipe Stark, Le Bon Marché, Galeries Lafayette and Liberty of London. Her distinctive style became firmly established when she was chosen as the Liberty London Cutting Edge jewellery Designer for Liberty's international press campaign for the London Millennium.
Her cutting edge and innovative vision led Melissa into consulting, working for clients such as Toni&Guy Ireland and Swarovski.
Melissa's luxurious approach to jewellery has since attracted a sophisticated international clientele who appreciate the strong design of her customized pieces and her personal approach. She recently had the pleasure of designing a bracelet for former President Mary Robinson on behalf of Onefamily charity.
