ABOUT our brand

MLKANHNY is a brand focused on designing unique 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. In addition, we’re delighted to continue adding to our growing collection of objects for the home.


As a self-taught designer I find myself approaching jewelry making in an un-orthidoxed way. Within the foundation of my designs are a desire to make beautiful things that ultimately the wearer connects with and finds their own personal self-expression. I want to create objects of adornment that are timeless and unique to the wearer. I love creating in a conceptual way where the piece is being designed as I work on it, allowing the materials to speak to me in the moment. Also, I create pieces in a repetitive way that create a consistent texture or formed pattern.

 

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.
