Garden Gate Jewelry is where dreamy, magical ideas take form in refined, graceful designs. Featuring symbolic and playful imagery like stars, hands, keys and cats in jewelry that is tastefully toned back, each piece adorns with magic, beauty and grace. About me: My name is Melinda (but everyone calls me Minty)! I make everything here. I’ve always loved design; fashion, interior, graphic & product. In 2012 I began channeling my design love into Garden Gate Jewelry, creating the dreamy, subtle jewelry of my dreams. As a business owner, these things are important to me: integrity. beauty. magic. kindness. humor. creativity. freedom. good communication. grace. nature. honesty. connecting through creativity. How it's made: It's a very exciting process to produce components from my imagination and see them come to life! From my daydreams and then to my sketches, these pieces are translated into either 3D models or hand carved out of jewelers wax by myself. The wax is then cast in sterling and bronze here in Northern California. Quality is important to me. The materials I use include sterling silver, gold fill, bronze, stones & top quality gold plating. All pieces are made by myself and are double-checked for quality before I package them up beautifully for you.Read their story
