Marla Aaron We are a rebellious little company and we make jewelry and other objects in New York City. They are beautiful and people seem to love them.

Marla launched the collection in 2012 when her combined obsessions with bridges, hardware and jewelry could no lon “We tell stories with our jewelry. The sturdiness of a carabiner. The timeless shape of a padlock that has changed little in hundreds of years. And how these symbolize the enduring ties of love and family. Connections, both physical and figurative, are the foundation of how I think about fine jewelry.”

Inspired by the majesty of bridges, the simplest of hardware elements, and the place where fashion and art converge with Old World craftsmanship. The necklaces, which began with a sterling silver lock (cast from an industrial carabiner), allow wearers to personalize their pieces with chains, stones or pearls that can be worn long, or wrapped as chokers and bracelets. Prices start at $100 for the Baby Lock. All the pieces are meant to mix and match with pieces from one's own collection as a personal statement. Everything is crafted in the USA.

Hand engraving is one of the oldest—and best, if you’re asking us—forms of storytelling in jewelry. Every line is made by hand, every detail deliberate, and the result is something that could only have been made that way.

It is also, increasingly, a dying art.

Our showroom currently has some beautiful hand-engraved pieces. And if you’re thinking about making something of your own in time for the holidays—yes, we said it—now is the time to start.

Because hand engraving takes time. That is, in part, the point.

So, we’ve told you the story of Ganymede by … (sorry, Patty)… and how, when housed inside one of our All Screen Boxes, it can make almost any experience — including, somehow, the airport — exponentially better.

But obsession, as we know, has levels.

Marc and his team took this one a step further with a very special project: photographers from around the world, each with their own perspective, were asked to capture a fragment of an interior, with a Marc-Antoine Barrois fragrance as the only common thread.

Same fragrances, different worlds. It’s a study in perspective that anyone can appreciate, and we’re so grateful to have been included.

Thank you for capturing it all… and for listening to the other stories, including the one about the time my friend gave me Tom Petty’s blanket.

But that is, truly, another story for another day.

You don’t NEED a ring. You don’t need a diamond ring that opens and closes to reveal a secret message, and you don’t need a ring that opens and attaches to chains to be worn as a necklace, and you certainly don’t need a ring that was made for no reason other than to satisfy the itch to spin it around your finger (literally, like a ball), but we digress...we make all of these rings with the question of what value they will bring to your life? So do you need them? No you most definitely don’t. But we do hope that if you are considering a ring, you’ll think about all it can do.

I know most of you civilian jewelry lovers (just coined that phrase) love jewelry but maybe not to quite the same degree I love and obsess over jewelry. That my over the top explanations of our jewelry could be ....”a bit much”. To those folks I am sorry.
To the rest of you, here’s more Musgrave love....
We’re not done yet...

Storytime.
What you’re seeing here is a strand of undyed red coral beads of the deepest red with hand painted porcelain rondelles sandwiched between 9.5MM gem quality Akoya pearls. Finished in diamond loops with an allstone diamond Chubby Babylock. It’s 46” of something that is pretty heartstopping. And versatile.
One of one.
Please inquire with enthusiasm. We can’t stop staring at it.
With the deepest thanks to the incredible workshops of NYMPHENBURG yet again.
(And thanks to me for patiently keeping these coral beads in our safe for so many years awaiting this project❤️)

Let’s play This or That with our Brand Manager, Betsy, whose 1 year work anniversary happens to be today. Betsy joined us from Iowa, but as her choices tell, she’s a Manhattan girl now…and, like Marla, understands the power of a Pixi Stick.

We’ve told you how creative you can be with our DiMe rings. This Is a favorite that we made for one of our favorites. Say anything. Keep a secret on the inside. Let us do something poignant on the outside. We make them in so many ways— this is a Medium in yellow gold. “Di me” means “tell me” in Spanish but an, informal or intimate “tell me”. Which is why it seemed like a great name for this series.

Display & Storage may be the least sexy things to think about when you’re designing jewelry and it’s very challenging. I was very fixated on my old sewing box and I let it inform the way we share our jewelry with you and how some of you store your jewelry at home. As always, we’re not done yet. Shout out to Jordan and Jess for helping me pull this together. The lighting was so good!

The funny thing about calling something a “system” is that it makes it sound terribly serious.

The Earring Project is, technically, a system. Earring Bases connect to Lozenges. Lozenges connect to other things. Donut has now entered the equation and, predictably, opened up even more possibilities.

Add newly zhuzh’d Skinny Earring Bases — lighter, and a better entry point to the game — plus a whole slew of double-sided gemstone Lozenges, and suddenly there are considerably more ways to wear all of it than we could reasonably show you in one post.

We tried anyway.

A collection of images and videos demonstrating just how modular The Earring Project has become.

Yes, there are mechanisms. Yes, there is a system.

But the point of the system is actually very simple: to play.
