Meet the Owner of Mel's Treasures
Melissa (Mel)
Mel's Treasures is a one-woman business built around a love for vintage fine jewellery. I am dedicated to sourcing exquisite gold pieces, rare antiques, and diamond treasures, each with a story of its own.
I was born and raised in NYC, but now call Sydney my home. Every piece I sell is personally handpicked, authenticated, and often saved from the melting pot. Along the way I've built a trusted network of gemologists, precious metal experts, and custom manufacturers, relationships rooted deeply in New York's Diamond District and Sydney's fine jewellery community.

A Tarot Card Reading ✨
Now you can add a real tarot reading to your order at checkout. I'm definitely not a professional, but I've been doing tarot for over a decade now, and I feel deeply connected to my spirituality and intuition. This optional add-on is a card, drawn just for you, with a reading written just for you, tucked inside your package. This may be a chance to seek some clarity, guide your thoughts, or open your eyes to new opportunities. It can also be just for fun!

Why shop vintage solid gold?
There is something special about old gold. Decades of wear create a softness, warmth, and character that simply can't be manufactured. The subtle patina, rich tones, and signs of a life well-lived are part of what make vintage jewelry so beloved among collectors.
