Why work with west of fourth

about west of fourth

Jewellery should feel personal because it is personal. It’s worn close to the body, lived in daily, and becomes an extension of the person wearing it. At West of Fourth, each piece is created with this in mind, designed to reflect meaning, longevity, and individuality.

West of Fourth is led by Melissa Mitchell, a Calgary-based custom jewellery designer with over a decade of experience in bespoke design and gemstone sourcing. Melissa holds three diplomas from the Gemological Institute of America — Applied Jewellery Professional, Diamonds Graduate, and Coloured Stones Graduate — and is currently completing the final requirements toward Graduate Gemologist.

The craftsmanship is incredible, and every detail feels intentional and unique. I love that my ring is one of a kind, designed just for me, and made to be both beautiful and practical for everyday wear.
I get compliments on it constantly, and it’s so special knowing it was created with such care. If you’re looking for custom jewelry that is meaningful, well made, and tailored to you, I can’t recommend West Of Fourth enough!”
