ABOUT our brand

MLKANHNY is a brand focused on designing aesthetic minimalist jewelry for the everyday woman. Each piece is made by hand by the founder and designer, Madison Etheridge. She continues to embrace experimentation and new techniques in each collection.


As a self-taught designer I find myself approaching jewelry making in a more personal way. Within the foundation of my designs are a desire to make beautiful things inspired by my daily surroundings. I honestly create pieces that I love in hopes the wearer connects with and finds themselves drawn to. I want to create jewelry pieces that are timeless and personal to the wearer. what often starts as a sketch can become something completely different as I begin working on it, allowing the materials to speak to me in the moment. In terms of materials, metals have my heart for it’s endless flexibilty.

 

MATERIALS

JEWELER’S BRASS

Jeweler's brass is made up of 85% copper/15% zinc. It’s a great choice when you want a color as close as possible to 14K yellow gold. Also known as red brass, NuGold, Merlin's gold and jeweler’s bronze.

STERLING SILVER

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.

14K Gold Filled

“Gold-filled” is a USA industry standard that legally requires 1/20th, or 5% pure gold by weight. It's a strictly regulated process that involves pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14k gold with extreme heat over a core of high quality jeweler's brass resulting in a durable, quality real gold product.
