About Wild.Fringe
My Story
At Wild.Fringe, every piece is hand poured, shaped or assembled...by me! I create small-batch concrete home décor and handcrafted jewellery inspired by nature using muted tones and eco-friendly materials that are gentle on the planet. With a clean, Scandi-inspired feel, each piece is designed to be timeless - an antidote to fast fashion and throwaway trends.
Whether its's something for your home or something for your ears, my aim is simple: to bring a little beauty into everyday life - without costing the earth.
Each item is made in small batches so no two pieces are ever the same - that’s part of the magic - proof that beauty is often found in imperfection.
Wild.Fringe began in 2023, during a big shift in my life. Where I thought one story might grow, another one bloomed instead. I turned to making to help me reconnect with myself. What started as personal healing became a growing little corner of calm creativity and a quiet urge to leave a trace.
Thanks for being here.
Stay Wild, Melissa x
MATERIAL PROMISE
Whether you're looking at investing in a pair of earrings or my homeware, you can guarantee every material I use is carefully considered — chosen for its feel, finish, and integrity. I source my materials thoughtfully, with sustainability, quality and longevity in mind.
For example, most of my jewellery is made with 14k ‘gold filled’ components, a premium alternative to traditional plating. This process bonds a thicker layer of real gold to a base metal, with the gold making up a guaranteed 5% of the item weight. Gold filled jewellery has a beautifully muted gold colouring and creates a durable, long-wearing finish that’s ideal for sensitive skin and everyday use. Looked after well...it's timeless.
In some designs, I also use high quality 14k or 18k real gold-plated findings or in my walnut wood findings there is stainless steel, which is hypoallergenic. Where a specific shape or scale is needed that isn’t available in gold filled materials gold plating material is an affordable alternative and should not be overlooked given how far it has come in quality. These are always selected for their strength, comfort, and tone, and are free from lead and nickel. You’ll always find material details listed clearly, because I believe transparency is just as important as beauty. I want your pieces to feel as good as they look—and to last.
As for my homeware, each Wild.Fringe piece is crafted using high quality, designer grade cement or Jesmonite - chosen not just for its strength, but for its quiet beauty. With its satisfyingly soft and smooth texture, and natural matte finish, you'll never want to stop touching it.
WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE?!
While I keep a small number of pieces in stock, most Wild.Fringe items are made to order in small batches. My Scandi-inspired concrete home décor is hand-poured and requires 8-12 days to cure beautifully before dispatch. Jewellery pieces are ready to ship within 1–3 days.
Each concrete item is completely unique—air bubbles, subtle voids, and slight colour variations are part of the natural charm of this material. These are not flaws; they’re part of what makes every piece one of a kind.
All homeware is sealed with a water-based sealant. However, if used to hold lotions, oils, or serums, some spotting or staining may occur over time, as concrete is naturally porous. For this reason, I’m unable to accept returns due to surface marks.
Cork pads are added to select pieces to help protect your surfaces.
