Meet Your Seller
Welcome to MLCA Creations! I’m Melissa, a Mi'kmaq artist, vintage curator, and the heart behind the shop. I believe that beautiful things deserve a second life, and I have a deep passion for breathing new life into forgotten treasures. Through my handcrafted wearable art, I specialize in upcycling vintage jewelry—transforming salvaged stones, shells, and single earrings into one-of-a-kind, hand-stitched statement pieces. My work is deeply rooted in my heritage, sustainable artistry, and Indigenous beadwork techniques. When I’m not beading in my studio, I am hunting for incredible vintage jewelry and collectibles to curate for my shop. I am an avid researcher, fascinated by the history and stories old items hold—especially when it comes to identifying intricate hallmarks, vintage silver, and artisan maker's marks. I’m so thrilled to share my creations and vintage discoveries with the Niche Shopping Network community here on District. Take a look around, and I hope you find a piece of art or history that speaks to you! Thank you! Wela'lin!

MLCA Creations Handcrafted Labradorite Gemstone Cabochon Beaded Pendant with Silver-Tone Chain Necklace
Add a touch of natural magic to your collection with this captivating handcrafted pendant necklace from MLCA Creations. As a Mi'kmaq artist, I pour my heritage and passion for sustainable artistry into every stitch, creating wearable art that beautifully blends natural wonders with reclaimed history. At the heart of this piece sits a mesmerizing 1.5-inch genuine Labradorite gemstone cabochon sourced from Georgia, USA, carefully selected for its striking color play and luminescent flash. The stone is meticulously framed with intricate hand-beading, utilizing upcycled dark hematite seed beads reclaimed from a broken vintage necklace. The metallic sheen of the hematite perfectly grounds the ethereal, flashing tones of the centerpiece. Backed with supple genuine leather and fitted with a silver-tone bale, this pendant is hand-signed "MLCA" on the reverse, guaranteeing it as an authentic artisan original. It comes ready to wear on a versatile 22-inch silver-tone chain. A truly enchanting, sustainable statement piece perfectly curated for the Niche Shopping Network community!
