About me
Black Cats & Company (Melanie Widmer) has been a labor of love for me for over a decade. I have two main goals when designing pieces: mixing colors and elements in ways that enhance the natural beauty of the stones, and creating versatile pieces that are worn often and are enjoyed. I focus on high-quality and unusual stones, blended together in unexpected ways that complement the natural variations of the materials. Every piece is an original, using unique shapes and hand-carved pendants, many in the shape of animals. Designs are made to harmonize with everything from a white T-shirt to a favorite power suit or little black dress. I also create custom meditation strands/prayer beads and teach a class on them.
