The Dana David Collection re-defines modern luxury with jewelry for the way we live today. Inspired by graphics and architecture, the bold, sculptural design is married with classic elegance and attention to detail.
Always passionate about fine jewelry, Dana Melnick began designing her own pieces because she was unable to find jewelry that she could relate to on a personal level –substantial pieces that reflected her passion for great design, fashionable and hip enough for every day wear. The overwhelming number of compliments and inquiries she received on these pieces led her husband, David, to suggest she may want to think about making her jewelry available to women besides herself.
Dana began her design career as a graphic designer and then creative director. She has a BFA in Graphic Design from Syracuse University, and studied gemology and jewelry design at the GIA Institute in New York City.
Meticulously hand-crafted in 18 carat gold with diamonds and semi-precious gemstones, the pure shapes and satin finishes are designed to enhance the natural beauty and elegance of the metal and stones. A lover of the graphic shape of stars since childhood, each piece is signed with her trademark logo star.
Dana’s jewelry expresses the individuality and self-confidence of the women who wear it, casually luxurious pieces that reflect their own personal style. They have their own identity and relate to the edgy femininity of these very wearable designs. “This is the jewelry that I like to wear, jewelry ‘sportswear’ that goes with my wardrobe and lifestyle.”
Partnering with her husband David to run the business side of things, they strike the perfect balance for a creatively driven business. They enjoy working together, and represent the Dana David Collection at trade and trunk shows, both enjoying the interaction with their customers on a personal level.
