Hayden Panettiere
Frazer Harrison / Getty ImagesHayden PanettiereThere’s a stair-step age spread between Hayden Panettiere, Mary-Kate Olsen, Rachel Ray and Uma Thurman, but they’ve all been spotted wearing jewelry from Melinda Maria, a young designer whose future career became obvious at the age of 10, when she started taking her mother’s jewelry apart just to put it back together in different ways. Melinda’s designs have been featured on women in two popular series, Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives, and the list of celebrities wearing the jewelry has grown since the company’s 2005 launch, but her thoughts are on more than her celebrity fans. Melinda designed necklaces for the Name Campaign, a group working to raise awareness about the thousands and thousands of children of Uganda who have been abducted by rebel groups during the past several years. One-hundred percent of the profits from the sale of her nameplate necklaces benefits the charity.
Hayden Pnettiere is one of the celebrities who supports the efforts of the Name Campaign.
