HOW IT WORKS

ABOUT WEST OF FORTH

Jewellery should feel personal — because it is.

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 Graduate Diamonds, Coloured Stones, and Applied Jewellery Professional (AJP) diplomas from the Gemological Institute of America.

About West of Fourth

Kind words

“My wife waited 20 yrs for this ring so needless to say, I needed to nail this. I also wanted to surprise her, which means that Melissa had to spend hours gathering information from me and my wife’s friends, analyzing pictures in order to get a sense of my wife’s style, preferences and hand size. We went through multiple diamonds, rings and designs. Melissa completely nailed it. My wife is ecstatic with her ring; she loves her ring and is proud to show it at every opportunity. Thank you, Melissa, for making this happen!”

— H, Calgary

“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Melissa quite recently and we were very impressed with her knowledge and expertise in the Diamond business. She took the time to educate and guide us through the complex world of gems and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend working with her.”

— Z, Calgary

“Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with. From the moment I met her, I was confident I had found exactly what I was looking for. Someone who took the time to get to know me, my wife and what I was looking for. From concept to completion, Melissa made the experience next level. Whenever I need jewelry of any sort, I will exclusively seek out Melissa’s for her knowledge, help and guidance.”

— A, Calgary
