Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Melissa Valerio. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Melissa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I started Benditta Jewels while I was in college, driven by my passion for jewelry and the need for extra income. It was a way for me to combine something I’ve always loved with the practical need to support myself during that time, and that’s how my brand began.
Melissa, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Benditta Jewels was born from a deep passion for jewelry that I discovered while in college. I started the business both as a creative outlet and a means to earn extra income. Over time, it evolved into something much bigger—a way to connect with people through meaningful pieces that celebrate beauty and individuality.
At Benditta Jewels, we specialize in unique, jewelry pieces that reflect personal style and timeless elegance. From statement earrings to delicate rings, our collection offers something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a bold accessory or a subtle, everyday piece.
One of the challenges we solve for our clients is helping them find jewelry that truly resonates with their personality and style. We focus on offering a range of pieces that feel special and carefully curated. What sets us apart is the personal touch—each collection is crafted with thoughtfulness, ensuring our clients feel confident and beautiful wearing our pieces.
I’m incredibly proud of how far Benditta Jewels has come since its beginnings. We’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with local businesses, host pop-ups, and grow a dedicated community of clients who genuinely love and support the brand. The pop-ups have been especially impactful, helping us increase both our social media presence and sales while creating a deeper connection with our clients.
What I want potential clients and followers to know is that Benditta Jewels is more than just a jewelry brand. It’s a reflection of persistence, passion, and the belief that beauty should be accessible to everyone. We’re always working to have pieces that resonate with our customers, and I’m deeply grateful for the journey that has brought us here.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
One of the lessons I’ve learned is that jewelry isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. What truly makes a difference is finding businesses that support you and allow you to host pop-ups in their stores—that’s an amazing opportunity. Whenever you hit a “no,” you just have to keep trying until you find the right fit.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Pop-ups have played a huge role in helping us grow, not just in terms of sales but also by boosting our social media presence. These events create more visibility, allowing us to connect with new customers and increase engagement both online and offline.
