Melanie Bilenker Jewellery


This incredible brooch features a 'drawing' made in hair!

Brooch made from resin, gold and hair

This ring is made from citrine, gold and hair.
In a similar way to the Victorians, who kept lockets of hair and miniature portraits painted with ground hair and pigment to secure the memory of a lost love, Melanie Bilenker secures her memories through images rendered in lines of her own hair.
She selects quiet moments, the mundane and the domestic to preserve in her gold, resin and hair pieces of jewellery.
