Worn close to the body, lived in daily, it becomes an extension of the person wearing it. Every piece at West of Fourth is designed one-on-one to reflect meaning and intention — never trends or mass production.
Led by Melissa Mitche • GIA-Trained
A Calgary-based custom jewellery designer with over a decade of experience in bespoke design and diamond and gemstone sourcing. After years inside both traditional retail and private, design-led environments, Melissa saw firsthand the gaps in how custom pieces were often sold.
Her work is grounded in both hands-on design and technical expertise. Concepts often begin with hand-drawn pencil sketches — ideas left to develop organically before moving into refinement.
