By Mariel Jewelry is a handcrafted jewelry brand based in Spain, known for its relaxed, bohemian beach aesthetic. The brand blends natural gemstones and sterling silver to create timeless and versatile pieces. With a strong focus on knotted gemstone necklaces and bracelets, By Mariel Jewelry evokes the free-spirited essence of coastal living. Each design reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and the beauty of natural elements, offering wearers a connection to the magical, carefree vibe of the beach.

The brand is deeply personal, reflecting Mariel’s lifelong passion for creativity. Born and raised in Caracas, she has lived in cities like New York, London, Madrid, and Pontevedra, and now resides in La Coruña, Spain, with her family of five. After studying fashion design, Mariel discovered a love for graphic design and spent much of her career collaborating with fashion brands.

Despite her successful career, Mariel always dreamed of creating her own brand. That dream began to take shape one summer when she and her husband started crafting jewelry together. The joy of creating tangible pieces sparked a deeper passion, and after selling her designs online, Mariel decided to fully embrace this entrepreneurial journey.

As a Caribbean soul now living in Europe, Mariel beautifully blends both cultures into her creations. She often names her pieces after Caribbean locations, evoking the warmth and vibrancy of her roots, while using stunning European landscapes as backdrops for her photo shoots. This fusion of influences creates a unique aesthetic that resonates with a global audience.

By Mariel Jewelry embodies her belief that life is about pursuing what you love. Each piece tells a story of creativity, resilience, and the beauty of following one’s dreams, inspired by the rich interplay of Caribbean and European influences.

What brings her the greatest joy is seeing someone wear and appreciate her creations.
