Hi, I’m Melissa — the heart behind Reinke Links.

After years of dabbling in different side gigs, something always felt a little… off. Nothing truly clicked. But I’ve always loved working with people — connecting, caring, creating — and deep down, I knew there was something more waiting for me.

Then I discovered permanent jewelry.

I had a few pieces done myself and instantly fell in love — not just with the look, but with the feeling. That moment when a beautiful chain gets linked, symbolizing something personal, something lasting… I knew I wanted to create that for others.

So I followed the nudge.

I leaned into the idea, did the work, and launched Reinke Links — a permanent jewelry experience rooted in connection, meaning, and a little sparkle.

What You Can Expect

Reinke Links is 100% about high-end experiences that still feel warm, inviting, and you. I want you to feel like you’re stepping into a mini getaway — whether it’s our mobile studio (aka “Destination Reinke Links”) or a cozy pop-up event, I’ve designed every detail to feel like you’re escaping to a little beach cottage for some pampering.

Everything I offer is hand-selected for quality and elegance — because your memories deserve nothing less.

A Little About Me

I’m a nurse by background, with over 15 years in leadership and years spent in the ER helping people through life’s biggest moments. Caring for others is in my bones — and now, I get to bring that same heart into helping people create jewelry that means something.

I’m also a wife to Mike (29 years and counting!) and mama to three amazing kids — Hayley, Lane, and Chase. We’re a travel-loving, sports-cheering, campfire-hanging kind of crew. Most weekends you’ll find us “glamping” in our 5th wheel, relaxing by the water, or dreaming about our next trip to the Virgin Islands (our happy place — and the inspiration behind all the beachy vibes here at Reinke Links).

We also share our home with two fur babies: Milo 🐶 (our Shih Tzu) and Marley 🐾 (our fluffy Teddy Bear pup).

Why I Do This

At the end of the day, this is about you.

I want every person who visits Reinke Links to feel like they’re not just buying jewelry — they’re creating a memory. Whether it’s a mother-daughter moment, celebrating a milestone after a friendship celebration, or something just for you — these links become something you carry with you.

I’m here to help you make it special.

Let’s get linked — and make something beautiful, together.
