The Melanie
The Melanie
Sentimental, symbolic and beautifully feminine, The Melanie is a mother and child Heirloom ring designed to honour one of life’s most meaningful bonds.
A sculpted mother and baby motif curves gently around a heart shaped Heirloom setting, creating a design that feels deeply personal while still remaining elegant and wearable.
Each Melanie is individually handcrafted using your chosen preserved inclusion, transforming something meaningful into an Heirloom designed to be worn, treasured and one day passed down.
Whether she represents motherhood, a breastfeeding journey, remembrance, pregnancy after loss, family legacy, a beloved pet or another chapter worth preserving, The Melanie gives that story a beautiful place to remain close.
Natural variations in colour, opacity, texture, marbling, pattern and inclusion placement are part of the handmade process, ensuring that no two Melanie rings will ever be exactly alike.
The Melanie. A little heart holding a lifetime of love.

Ring Sizing
Your Olive Juice Heirloom is individually handcrafted to the ring size selected when ordering, so choosing the correct size before production begins is important.
For the most accurate fit, I recommend having your finger professionally sized using a ring sizer. This is particularly important for wider bands, statement rings and designs such as The Xanthie, as these may feel slightly more snug than a fine band.
Before Choosing Your Size
For the best result:
• Measure the exact finger you intend to wear the ring on• Have your finger measured when your hands are at a comfortable, normal temperature• Avoid measuring when your hands are particularly cold, hot or swollen• Keep in mind that finger size can naturally change throughout the day and with weather, pregnancy and fluid retention• If you are between sizes, please contact Olive Juice Heirlooms before ordering so I can help you determine the best option
Already have a ring that fits?
You can use a correctly fitting ring as a guide, but I still recommend having your finger professionally sized where possible.
I do not recommend relying solely on printable ring sizing charts or measuring your finger with string or paper, as even small measurement differences can result in an incorrect finished size.
Please check your selected ring size carefully before production begins.
Ring sizing remains the customer's responsibility. Please double check the selected size before submitting your order and again when returning your Inclusion Kit if requested.
Because each piece is custom handcrafted and may contain irreplaceable inclusions, not every Heirloom design can be safely resized once completed.
If a completed ring requires resizing, please contact Olive Juice Heirlooms before taking it to another jeweller. I will assess whether your particular design can be safely resized and advise of any applicable resizing, remake and postage costs.
If the incorrect size was supplied when ordering, resizing or remaking the ring is not considered a workmanship fault.
Unsure of Your Size?
Please contact me before ordering. It is always better to confirm your fit before your Heirloom is created.

Care Recommendation
To help protect your Heirloom and preserve its beauty:
• Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions and cleaning products
• Remove before swimming, exercising or undertaking heavy work
• Store in a clean, dry and safe place when not being worn
• Clean gently using a soft, dry jewellery cloth only
Your Heirloom is designed for meaningful, sentimental wear and should always be handled with a little extra care.
