Coastal Jewelry, Inspired by the Sea

Discover handmade coastal jewelry inspired by the colors, textures, and light of the ocean. Designed in Wilmington, North Carolina, each piece by Marie & Oakley captures the feeling of salt air, sunlit water, and the quiet beauty of coastal living.

From soft aquamarine blues to vibrant turquoise and luminous freshwater pearls, these designs are meant to feel like a memory you can wear—effortless, meaningful, and connected to the sea.

What is Coastal Jewelry?

Coastal jewelry is inspired by life near the water—where color, light, and texture are constantly shifting. It reflects the natural palette of the ocean, from pale sea glass greens to deep, saturated blues.

At Marie & Oakley, coastal jewelry is more than a look—it’s a feeling. Each piece is designed to evoke a sense of calm, nostalgia, and connection to the coast, whether you live by the ocean or simply carry it with you.

Handcrafted with Natural Gemstones

Every piece is thoughtfully handmade using:

✨ Genuine aquamarine, turquoise, and ocean-toned gemstones

✨ Freshwater pearls with organic, one-of-a-kind shapes

✨ 14k gold-filled materials for lasting quality and everyday wear

No two pieces are exactly alike—each one reflects the natural variation and beauty of the materials themselves.

A Note from the Founder

Marie & Oakley began as a way to capture the colors of the sea and turn them into something lasting.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to the ocean—the light, the movement, the calm—this collection is for you.

Much love from the coast,

Tracy Marie
