Melissa Joy Manning made her first piece of jewelry at age four - "My idea of play was making things...I never set out to be a designer; rather, I wanted to live an authentic life in pursuit of my craft," she says. Handcrafted from recycled 14-karat gold, this necklace is strung with 15 labradorite stones totaling 18.35-carats. The hook can be adjusted to 18" or 15".

Shown here with: Juan Carlos Obando Gown, Bottega Veneta Clutch, Gianvito Rossi Sandals.
