Melana began with Melissa Farrugia’s love of nature, symbols and the stories we carry. Like a mosaic, her heritage, creative life and journey into motherhood came together to form something new.
HERITAGE
Stories Carried Close
Rooted in her Maltese, Norse and Celtic heritage, Melissa is drawn to the stories held in symbols, landscapes and treasured objects. Jewellery offers a way to carry those connections close.
