Anne Armstrong – Jeweler
Town of Bainbridge

“Anne” is the sister of Kristen Neidlinger and daughter of Carolyn.  Her real name is Melissa Neidlinger and lives in Binghamton.  She didn’t want Kristen’s clients to think she changed her style so she took her middle name as her first and Carolyn’s maiden name as last name. 

Melissa/Anne got interested in making jewelry by helping Kristen make her work for shows. She realized she could ‘string beads as good as the next’ and took off on her own.  With Kristen’s tutelage she learned the finer techniques of assembling jewelry and used Kristen’s supply catalogues to get the specific supplies she wanted for her line of jewelry.

She currently makes a living as an accountant for Fidelity in Endicott (previously IBM).

She joined MIC in 2003.
