inspired by a grandmother's love

“Where’s your jewelry?” That was the question my grandmother asked me every day. Whether she was Plain Jane or Red Carpet Ready, she was always adorned in gold—and she expected me to do the same.


After she passed, I found myself standing in her home, surrounded by the pieces she had left behind. In that moment, I heard her voice again: “Where’s your jewelry?” As if reading my mind, my grandfather walked over and placed something in my palm. “She would have wanted you to have these,” he said. I opened my hand to find a pair of gold hoops, glowing with the same warmth and elegance my grandmother carried throughout her life.


That moment sparked the creation of MaryLou Jewelry—a brand that embodies simplicity, timelessness, and sentimentality. Inspired by a grandmother’s love, our designs are more than just accessories; they are heirlooms meant to be treasured for generations.


Each piece is ethically sourced and handcrafted in New York, made with solid 14K gold to ensure lasting beauty and durability. We believe that jewelry should feel as personal as a family keepsake—something to wear, cherish, and pass down.


To my grandmother: I love you. You never have to ask again—my jewelry is right here.
