MJHScontemporay is a place to commission unique hand made precious & semi precious jewellery. Designed & crafted by Melissa Hampson-Smith in her tiny garden studio.You may get lucky & find she has something in stock on her Etsy store but she mainly works to commission, remaking pieces once they have been photographed. This year she is extending her studio space to accommodate jewellery making students.

Melissa sometimes runs drawing & painting workshops taking people on walks around Cornwall & showing them how to fill sketchbooks with their daily experiences. A great alternative to recording everything on a camera phone.
