I had a chance to preview the Melissa Joy Manning Fall 2012 collection at the CIRCA Accessories Salon during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. It was interesting to learn how much nature inspired her work and how the collection is based on sustainability for the luxury industry. My personal favorite were the below red colored earrings. The material used looks so decadent and rich

By creating unusual, limited edition pieces she hopes her jewelry transcends stylistic trends. Melissa relies heavily on our natural environment for inspiration.
