Testimonials and reviews

We have been a fan of Melanie’s talents since 2014!  It started while browsing in Antonia's Boutique & Gifts in Tarpon Springs where we purchased our first piece, a pink starfish on coral!  We were hooked!  Since then, her creative and wondrous sculptures continue to adorn our home!  Her one-of-kind jewelry pieces and figurines make fabulous gifts and our Christmas tree certainly wouldn’t be the same without Melanie’s turtles, dolphins, starfish, octopus, seahorses, mermaids, manatees, pelicans glistening among the tree lights.  Each time I wear one of Melanie’s jewelry pieces -- turtles, sea horses or starfish -- I always receive wonderful compliments, which provides for the perfect opportunity to brag about Melanie Cech Glass!!  Melanie your work is exquisite and each piece you create emanates your love and joy, which we are honored to enjoy every day!  God has blessed you with an amazing talent and your creativity with glass is breathtaking!   Thank you for sharing your treasures!

 She truly is a talent and I will certainly be buying many more of her work. Extremely professional and provided me with an incredible piece. It’s my second! Can’t wait to buy more. Highly recommend buying her work! - Customer, April, 2022 

I love these jewelry pieces. They reflect light beautifully with gold edges and very unique colors. I bought a set for my daughter for her birthday because I know she’ll appreciate that they are handmade by a true artist. Definitely recommend!! -K. Blanchard, March, 2022

"I met Melanie at Zen Glass in St. Petersburg, Florida. There I bought four different pieces. Two as gifts and two for my personal use. I wish I could have bought more. She is a gifted, creative, and talented artists who is wise enough not to price herself out of the marketplace.  hope she comes this way again soon."

" I am still impressed by the magic that Melanie works when hand crafting glass!  She is truly a wizard!  For my mother's birthday, she created a beautiful glass blown Monarch butterfly and placed it on this piece of sea rock.  My mother was truly happy and it was her favorite gift of the evening.  Thank you Melanie, for creating such beautiful artworks that clearly show detail, joy and love in each piece!"
