Melissa Zaki’s Beaded Inspirations
Phoenix, AZ – During a trip to Flagstaff in the late ’80s, Melissa Zaki wandered into a bead store carrying a diamond stone with a peculiar request.
She didn’t want the jeweler to create a piece for her, and she didn’t want to sell it. Instead, Zaki asked woman behind the desk to drill a hole in the middle of the diamond so she could make it into a necklace herself.
After finishing her piece, Zaki brought it back to the bead store to show the owner. She was offered a job on the spot.Years later, Zaki’s back in Phoenix, and now sells her creations at Bunky Boutique.
