About My Handmade Jewellery

At Melissa Janneh Handmade, each piece of jewellery is crafted with precision, passion, and a love for timeless beauty. I specialize in creating original designs using high-quality Japanese seed beads from renowned brands Miyuki and Toho-known for their exceptional craftsmanship and durability.

The Art of Japanese Seed Beads

Miyuki and Toho beads are meticulously made in Japan, where traditional glasswork meets cutting-edge technology. These beads are crafted through a process that involves heating, shaping, and polishing glass to achieve a uniform size, rich colour, and smooth finish. their precision ensures that every piece I create is not only beautiful but also durable and comfortable to wear.

Why handmade?

Each item in my collection is designed and woven by hand, combining traditional beading techniques with modern aesthetics. Whether it's a delicate bracelet, a bold statement necklace, or intricate earrings, my goal is to offer unique, wearable art that reflects individuality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

By choosing Melissa Janneh Handmade, you're not just wearing jewellery you're embracing a piece of artistry, care, and heritage.

Timeless Handmade creations

At Melissa Janneh Handmade, I believe in the beauty of craftsmanship, nostalgia, and sustainability. My handmade soft toys and knitwear accessories are designed to bring warmth, comfort, and joy-whether as cherished childhood companions, soothing comfort items, or elegant home décor pieces.

Luxurious, Natural Materials

Each creation is carefully made using high-quality natural fibres such as merino, alpaca, wool, and cotton, chosen for their softness, durability, and timeless appeal. These materials not only feel wonderful against the skin but also ensure that every piece is built to last a lifetime.

A Return to Lasting Toys & Accessories

In a world of mass production, I am inspired by the past-when toys were made to be treasured, mended, and passed down through generations. My handmade toys are more than just playthings; they are heirloom-quality keepsakes that stand the test of time. If they ever need a little care, they can be fixed and loved all over again, just like in the good old days.

Whether you're looking for a snuggly friend for a child, a comfort item for yourself, or a whimsical accent for your home, my handmade soft toys and accessories bring a sense of warmth, nostalgia, and joy to any space.

With Melissa Janneh Handmade, you're not just purchasing a product-you're investing in something crafted with love, made to last, and meant to be cherished.
