"That's my necklace!" -Melissa B "Oh really? You have this…read morenecklace too?" -Me "No. That's *my* necklace. I made it. I'm Melissa." -Melissa B My jaw drops... As many of my friends know, I heart my Melissa Borrell pop-out necklace. I wear it all the time, so much that when I first met Melissa at a Yelp event a year ago, I was wearing it! And again at another event I ran into her at (EaDo Palooza). My red pop-out necklace by Melissa Borrell is one of the most attention-getting pieces I own. Seriously, no matter what city I'm in, what I'm doing, who I'm with, no less than three people (I dunno why it's always three, but it is) compliment my jewelry and ask where they can get their hands on one. And one of those three people is always a dude - a straight one at that. Impeccable taste, I must add. And just like Jenni-Beck S, I also started to carry around a bundle of Melissa's business cards to point people in the right direction. I've love how this piece goes with everything I own - from dresses to tank tops. And since I've been wearing it since 2007, it's still in wonderful shape (the silver chain remains beautifully shiny); and no matter how much I wear it, I know it will never go out of style. (I think I'm wearing it in at least 6 of my Yelp profile pics.) That being said, her pieces are not only great to collect for yourself, but also make wonderful, memorable and beautiful gifts. Just ask Eren M, who constantly wants to snatch it off my neck! Girl, you'll get yours. I promise. You can shop from Melissa's studio, online or at various boutiques and galleries in Houston. And even the MoMA in NY is rumored to have sold them. Go Melissa Borrell!

Disclaimer: Melissa is my friend, but I would buy her jewelry regardless…read more Melissa Borrell is an incredibly talented jewelry designer with a panache for pop-out pendants. Her signature item, the pendants come in either solid gold ($50) or powder-coated metal ($36). If you purchase one of these gems, more than one person will complement you literally every time you wear it. The other cool thing about her pop out jewelry is that the pendant part allows you to participate in the artistic process. The pendant comes flat and still attached to the metal from which it was cut (kind of like a business card with a cut out in the middle), so you pop it out and then form the pendant into your own 3D creation. Cool, huh? In addition to amazing jewelry, Melissa also sells etched lightbulbs that make really cool designs when you light them up, roman shades, and wall art, as well as higher end jewelry that will knock your socks off. You can buy Melissa's designs at Kuhl-Linscomb or the Museum of Fine Arts, but what's even better is to buy direct from her on her website or visit her studio during an open house.

Came to The Canopy during a First Saturday and was lucky enough to have came across this studio…read more What really stood out to me were all of the unique designs that are made in-house and featured in various forms of jewelry. From clouds to skulls, you can see the intricacy that is made for each piece. While I was exploring the shop, I noticed the skull design and knew I needed to have it in my collection. Since they didn't have my size available they offered to make one from scratch. After a week or two they called and it was ready for pickup. For a made-to-order piece it was under $100 and I'm so happy with it. I can't wait to wear it on a frequent basis.

We were greeted and asked if we could be helped. My friend said she would like her ring cleaned. And after showing her ID and bringing her account up they took her ring and said it would be about an hour and a half. We walked around the store looking at all their gorgeous jewelry all displayed in glass cases with brilliant lights showing off their sparkle. I took a couple pictures of items I would love. So if anyone is reading this and would like to send a donation, dm me. Haha. I just want to know if anyone really reads through my reviews to the end. We left, grabbed something to eat. Returned within an hour just to see if my friends ring was done. And it was. She was thrilled it was done and it was gorgeous. We walked outside and she showed me how amazing it is in the sun. I said hang on let me put my sunglasses on, and when she put her hand out in the sunshine. WHOA! Thank God I did put my sunglasses on cause it would have been like staring in to the sun! Absolutely stunning. Her ring was just beaming sparkles. Super impressed. Now I want one. Tiffany & Co, in The Domain. What a beautiful experience I had. Even though I was not there for myself.

She went out of her way to get to know us, asking about our wedding plans and our time in Austin, which made the experience feel very personal and genuine. Amy worked within our budget and gave us honest, thoughtful recommendations--something we really appreciated as first-time buyers. She never tried to upsell us and was sincerely invested in helping us find something meaningful. Her service made the entire process positive and memorable. One small note: the security staff during our first visit was noticeably more welcoming--he greeted us, opened the door, and set a warm tone right from the start. The security during today's visit wasn't quite as friendly, which stood out in contrast. Overall, still a great experience and we're very happy with our rings and the service we received!
