Where coastal moments become keepsakes

Every piece begins with something that catches my eye — sunlight dancing on the water, a favorite shade of turquoise, treasures found along the shore, or a moment by the sea I want to hold onto. Marie & Oakley turns those inspirations into handmade jewelry and artwork designed to be worn, gifted, and kept.

Marie & Oakley is a Wilmington, North Carolina studio creating handmade coastal jewelry, original paintings, and fine art prints inspired by life by the sea.
