About
Hi! I'm Mel Shepherd and welcome to Gilded Culture, a platform dedicated to the appreciation, education and celebration of jewellery and those working in the industry.
​
As a former jewellery professional I've spent over a decade immersed in retail, marketing and communications for jewellery and fashion brands. It has become second nature for me to explore and evaluate every aspect of the jewellery industry; every touch point is considered, and subconsciously graded to produce an overall sense or connection to a piece.
I hope to inspire thoughts and discussions about jewellery in everyday life for both consumers and retailers, and help inform consumers about the options available.
If you're looking to collaborate, need marketing support or simply have a jewellery story to share I'd love to hear from you. Contact me below.
​
Mel
