Our diamonds/jewelry pieces are 100% certified, top quality that compare to the prestigious Cartier brand.

All individual pieces have been tested and tweaked for durability, style. The emphasis on customization for the perfect fit makes each piece JUST RIGHT.
Accessories are fashion's best friend, and we truly believe that little things matter! This is evolution at its best. Our accessories are for the structured-edgy to classy-sophisticated customer. Our pieces are detailed driven from color concepts and fabric blends, down to the single stitch. There are times that it can be hard to find a high-quality product with superior materials for an affordable cost. One thing for sure is our HAT category is becoming one of the most POP-ular choices where...you just might find yourself in a "split-decision".
What makes us different from the competition? They haven’t showed up yet! Our Collection has set out to change the mindset with our unpredictable thinking in how luxury jewelry and comfort can take a seat in unity.
We are the trend setters and this experience is not to be missed out on. While The Money Mel Collection is still in the planning stage for future categories we are excited to welcome all to view the variety of our most popular products. This is for the game changers, go-getters & entrepreneurs in an oversaturated market and we're not planning to fit in anytime soon.
The journey of innovation begins now.
SO, IF YOU TALK OUR DIFFERENT...THEN WELCOME!
