About Mel's Treasures

Mel's Treasures is a woman-led small business specializing in vintage and antique fine jewelry. Founded by Melissa, or "Mel," the business focuses on offering one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, restoring old gold, creating custom pieces and sourcing unique treasures for those with specific jewelry desires. Each item is handpicked, authenticated, and carefully tested by Melissa and a trusted network of experts in gemology, precious metals, and custom jewelry. These sources, with decades of experience, are deeply rooted in the heart of New York City's Diamond District and renowned jewelry circles in Sydney, Australia. Mel also creates custom designs and can help bring your dream piece to life if you have a precious stone or diamond in mind upon request!

Growing up on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Melissa forged lasting relationships with several jewelers, connections she nurtured throughout her life. This network of expertise plays a crucial role in the curation of Mel’s Treasures, ensuring that each piece is thoughtfully selected and meticulously sourced.

Mel’s Treasures was born out of Melissa’s desire to help small jewelry businesses survive during the challenging Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, she began visiting jewelry shops across Brooklyn and Manhattan, offering her digital marketing and e-commerce expertise to businesses struggling without foot traffic. As these relationships deepened, Melissa recognized the potential impact of her work. She launched Mel's Treasures' social media presence and website, building even stronger ties with some of New York City's most renowned jewelers.

As the business grew, so did Melissa’s passion for sustainable fine jewelry. Now based in Sydney, Australia, she continues to source vintage treasures both locally and in New York City, where she maintains her valuable relationships. Melissa’s goal is to provide high-quality vintage jewelry that is not only exquisitely unique but also accessible for those starting their own collections.

Policy & Info

general policy

General Policy

Every purchase is final sale! Please take the time to look at all the descriptive details, measurements and pictures. Weight and width are crucial elements, and these details are included in my product descriptions. Insurance is not included in the standard shipping, so if you require insurance it is an extra charge. If you choose standard shipping, you are opting out of insurance. Even though I have a no return policy, there are a few exceptions on a case by case basis. (ie. if an item is damaged) I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Layaway Policy

Layaway options are available on items at checkout through shop pay or PayPal! All items are posted on my IGS first (excluding my site fee) and then they are added to my website if they have not sold yet. All new arrivals will then include my Shopify site fee. Layaway is usually only available on my website, but there are a few exceptions to this depending on the item and client. If you are unable to make your layaway payments on time outside of shop pay, there will be a small re-stocking fee. Please reach out for any further questions!

Quality Control

Every item listed has been thoughtfully and mindfully resourced through qualified jewelers and estate sales. I personally resource every piece, and my jewelers test all the gold and quality of the items. I am not an expert in diamonds or gemstones, so if you have specific questions please reach out to clarify before purchasing! All important information is provided in my posts and gold quality is guaranteed. Please feel free to reach out to me for any specific questions.
