It all began with a dresser full of costume jewelry...

Amorra Designs is a creation station founded by Portland based artist Melissa Liebeskind. Her inspiration comes from beauty she finds in everything. Whether it is a strand of vintage beads or random treasure, Melissa likes to imagine what could be.

From these inspiring things, jewelry and art are created.

Melissa seeks to breathe new life into what is considered safe while creating powerful, symbolic pieces. Using recycled and ethically sourced materials, Melissa makes each piece by hand and all are one of a kind.

Her work reflects her appreciation for simple beauty and how she allows her pieces to speak in what she likes to call, wearable art.

Melissa received her Graduates Degree in Gemology from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and spent years working as a buyer and designer in the Estate jewelry business. She was privileged to hold in her hands everything from artisan creations to one of a kind museum quality collector pieces.

She is honored to create relationships with celebrities and clientelle as they purchase mementos of moments in their lives.
