“Tidal” is a two piece ring set inspired by the concept of connecting the wearer with the Akoya pearl and the natural processes/elements involved in her creation. The feature ring is 9kt White Gold and showcases a 7mm Akoya pearl set in such a way as to contact the skin and hence directly engage the wearer with this natural gem. The pearl in this piece also represents the moon which affects the tides throughout its formation. The second ring of the set, a split 9kt Yellow Gold piece, completes the set, in its representation of the ocean where the pearl was birthed. The wave shaped band with its gradient of blue sapphires which lighten in colour to their peaks echo the water and waves of the ocean, whilst the 9kt Yellow Gold of this band mirrors the sand where this pearl is cultured and farmed.
We are all, each and every one, unique in the Universe. And that uniqueness is what makes us valuable.

mm can stand for a multitude of things but mm designs stands for the eclectic works of mel michael.
Always possessing a strong passion of all things visual art and design I began my journey as a young girl refining my drawing and painting skills and as I grew older broadened my horizons through experimenting visually with a greater variety of mediums. My creative drive has led me to pursue and complete a Bachelor in Fine Art with a major in Jewellery and 3D, where I discovered my strong passion for jewellery and making. My love of design and contrast has lead me down many paths since, all of which have not only added to my skill set but also delivered me here and to sharing my work with you.
I sincerely hope you love what you see here as much as I have enjoyed creating it!
Yours sincerely,
mm.
