Colour First

Colour first. Always. In our world, design begins withcoloured gemstones. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies,spinels, tourmalines. Stones with depth and character.Stones that hold light in ways that shift with the day.

Every piece begins with a stone we’ve chosen. Not a trend, not a template, but a specific gemstone with its own colour, its owntone, its own quiet presence. The design follows from there.

This is fine jewellery, made with care, in specialist workshops, setin gold, and built to last generations.

But it’s also jewellery designed to be part of your life. We thinkabout how a ring sits on the hand. How does an earring feelthrough a long day? How a pendant moves when you move.These are pieces we want you to reach for daily, not becausethey’re understated, but because they feel like yours.

Marla Design

Our designs are pared back. Clean lines. Considered proportions. Sculptural, architectural form. Settings that protect the stone while allowing the colour to breathe. Nothing competes for attention. The stone does the talking; the metalwork holds space around it.

That approach is expressed in Fleur de Luce, our signature setting. Sculpted rather than constructed and defined by proportion and control, it creates harmony between stone and setting, allowing the gemstone to feel both held and free. Recognisable without being overt, expressive without excess, Fleur de Luce is refined in form, strong in presence, and unmistakably Marla.

There is a collection here that has been built over decades. Sapphires in every shade from deep midnight to soft peach. Emeralds with soul. Rubies with warmth. Stones sourced through relationships that span three generations and two continents, each one chosen with intention, waiting for the right person to find it.

We work slowly. We build relationships. We’d rather spend time understanding what matters to you than show you everything at once.

If you’re looking for jewellery that feels considered, grounded, and quietly distinctive, you’re in the right place.

Take your time. Explore. There’s no pressure here, only possibility.

When you’re ready to talk, we’re here.
