At Marla Design, those three words are more than a slogan. They’re a filter for every decision we make; from how a ring sits on your finger to the types of stones we choose - and they show up in pieces you’ll want to wear often (and sometimes not want to take off).

“Real” is our shorthand for jewellery with presence - pieces that feel calm on the body and read clearly at a glance.

Jewellery with presence - noticeable without noise, clear to the eye, easy to live with and ready for real life. Confident on the hand; there when you want it, never in the way.

Made to keep up. Ready for real life - from everyday moments to defining days.

Clarity that lasts. Clean lines and considered balance that age with grace.

We like gemstones with a point of view. Colour that shifts in different light - details that tell a geological story, unusual cuts that feel human.

Expressive by design. We prize individuality through nuanced colour, considered cuts and balanced proportions. Refinement that feels calm, confident and unmistakably you.
Colour as emotion. Serene colours that swing from calm to electric. Lush colours that move you. Fiery colours that stir a passion (we dig deeper into this in our Kaleidoscope section.)
Made With You. Many pieces begin with a conversation. We curate stones from an exceptional inventory of gemstones to suit your palette and purpose and design a setting around how you live.

Timeless isn’t about mimicking the past. It’s about clarity of line and proportion that outlives trends.
Clarity of design. Cleaner silhouettes age better and they let the stone do the speaking.
Made to last a lifetime and more. Crafted by hand with considered construction and balance.
Considered choices. We build slowly, step by step, piece by piece.

You’ll see these ideas come together in our Fleur de Luce setting. Our love story that binds our bridal collection and beyond. It’s proportioned for daily wear with a poised profile, a secure seat for the stone and a refined silhouette that pairs well with bands, or sits beautifully on its own. You can read the full story of Fleur de Luce and our bridal collection here, but the essence is simple: it’s bridal without the clichés, designed for a lifetime of love.

Our Rarities are one‑off (sometimes two-off) pieces built around uncommon stones, unusual cuts, or just a design that emerges from the subconscious. They’re an expression of the same values: real, soulful and timeless, just with a little more freedom in colour and form. If a rarity catches your eye, it's because it clicks with you.
