Meet The Maker
I'm Colleen McGale, the founder and artisan behind Mareli Jewelry. I am a wife, momma and grandma. My passion is creating one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces that tell a story—your story.
It's all in the name
Mareli Meaning
Mareli is named after two of the most beautiful women in my life, my mom Elinor, and her mom, Marie.
Both of these women were/are incredible entrepreneurs who built business along side their husbands to support and raise their families.
Every time either of them steps out of the house, they look incredible! You would never see either of them with their hair not done or the perfect accessories to go with their outfit.
Their consistent, "I am important, I am worthy, I am beautiful" attitudes combined with my love to create and all things western, inspires me to create jewelry that not only enhances your natural beauty and embodies who you are, but that is also quality that is designed to last at an affordable price point.
Introducing
Craftsmanship, Design and Sustainability
As a metalsmith, I work with sterling silver and gold. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in my studio, combining traditional techniques with modern artistry.
Drawing inspiration from the rugged beauty and rich heritage of the Wild West, my designs often feature tooling and engraving. I incorporate elements like turquoise, diamonds, and other precious stones to bring each piece to life.
I believe in creating jewelry that not only looks beautiful but also aligns with ethical values. I use lab-created diamonds and repurpose materials like silverware, giving them new life as stunning accessories.
