MALLARY MARKS



“Colorful, juicy, mouth-watering, playful and sensual” are some of the words women have used to describe Mallary Marks’ jewelry. While the metal work patterns she creates are captivating in themselves, from Tibetan Lace to beaded latticework, the brilliant gemstones are the star of the show.

Mallary Marks opened her studio at the tender age of twenty-four, after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, then working for several years as a goldsmith.

Heavily influenced by her “heroes”, from Alexander Calder to Odilon Redon and Henri Matisse, Marks creates every piece by hand. Each piece reflects an idea in some way; insects, photographs, art, literature, architecture and ancient and indigenous crafts are referenced in her various collections.


Mallary has a passion for searching the world over (literally- she is a travel fanatic) for inspiration. She then uses her ability to marry precious, semiprecious, transparent and opaque gemstones into striking and unusual color compositions. Stones, such as multi colored sapphires, lapis, diamonds, chrysophrase, orange garnets, agates and emeralds (to name a few) are joined with intricate patterns of pure gold distinguishing each handmade piece with thoughtfulness and authenticity.

Polly Wales' Jewelry is HERE!!

We are excited to introduce our newest designer Polly Wales!

Polly Wales studied Fine Art Sculpture before following her passion for jewelry at the Royal College of Art in London. She has found a way to combine her skills as a sculptor, her love of traditional casting and carving techniques and her craftsmanship to create one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry.

Her current collections have a raw, unconventional beauty created by the ancient jewelry-making technique known as lost wax casting. Her work creates the impression that, rather than being precisely set, the gemstones have serendipitously found their way into the gold. Married with the rich colors and beautiful cuts of fine gem stones, Polly uses multi-colored sapphires and rubies and raw diamonds directly cast into gold, creating pieces that resemble natural gem encrusted forms, like sparkling geodes split open, or discoveries from the deep. This unorthodox process is unique to Polly and has become her signature style creating stunning, timeless treasures to cherish forever.
