Melinda Maria grew up in Spokane, Washington. She moved to Los Angeles, after living for a short time in New York City, because she wanted to see the world. Before finding her niche, Melinda Maria assisted a producer for a number of years before she found jobs as a makeup artist and jewelry designer. Her then boyfriend and now husband inspired her to focus on her jewelry design by telling her not to be a jack of all trades, but a master of one. Melinda Maria got her first big fashion Hollywood break when actress Hayden Panettiere was photographed wearing a pair of her earrings. Nicknamed “Hollywood’s Bling Queen,” by E! Entertainment television, celebrities can be seen wearing Melinda Maria’s pieces daily. She is constantly inspired by the world around her, whether it is walking down the produce aisle at the market or picking flowers in her garden.
