About

Inspired by heritage, the art of play, and joie de vivre, Onanma Okeke grew up with a storied past, from living in Nigeria to Brazil to New York.

Influenced by two generations of jewelry collectors and named after her sister, Meli is Onanma’s tribute to life, embodied by culture and stories of generations past.

Onanma conceived Meli as a collection of fine objects distinguished by the tango between culture, play, and stories.

Onanma attended the Fashion Institute of Technology.
