It is no secret I love Jewelry! And from time to time I stumble upon a designer that inspires me with the ability to make pearls, crystals and fabulous forms of mixed media come alive on a beautiful canvas of a fearless strong woman. A local Mom and Jewelry Designer Marinella Kelly of MARINELLA jewelry offers a unique line of custom made jewels that will put a sparkle in your eye and glimmer on your wrist! I recently interviewed Marinella to find out how this Momprenuer became inspired to start her own business !
Tell us how MARINELLA jewelry was started? Whenever asked this question I instantly blame my sister! Searching for unique bridal jewelry for her wedding, my sister Florence turned to me for creative advice. After her aue over the bridal jewels and accessories I created for her, she planned an in home jewelry show featuring my designs and Voile’ MARINELLA jewelry was born.
Can you give us a glimpse into the styles & types of couture jewelry you design? Marinella jewels are designed to wear everyday and to every event. Pearls are the essence of MARINELLA designs, what can I say I have a passion for pearls! Most of my designs incorporate freshwater pearls with other mixed media; such as semi-precious stones, blown glass, carved or manipulated wood and vintage elements, Swarovski® crystals, shell pieces, handmade pottery beads, the list goes on! When you put on a piece of MARINELLA jewelry you will “Be a princess all of the time.” (MARINELLA ‘s Motto)
What makes MARINELLA jewelry designs unique? Outside of my family, my passion is jewelry. There is no piece that is insignificant in my collection. Whether it is a bracelet for a mother to be, made from the baby’s birthstone, or a special piece like a vintage locket necklace for an anniversary or birthday, MARINELLA’s signature is on it! MARINELLA jewelry specializes in brides and bridal parties, working closely with the Bride to recreate her vision. I recognize that each client’s personality and budget is unique. I consider it a privilege to design jewelry for her, and work to personalize her couture design experience to exceed expectations.
So you customize jewelry for your clients? Absolutely, I customize jewelry & accessories! One of my favorite things to do is collaborate with my clients on one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry they can wear forever. Recently I completed a bridal necklace incorporating a vintage pin of the bride’s grandmother creating a beautiful memory piece of jewelry not just of her wedding day but of her grandmother as well.
