Marlow Marshall
Founder & Lead Designer
The story of how I entered the jewellery industry is non-traditional, but one that is infused in my day to day interactions. Growing up in Red Deer, I started my retail career at a young age. Witnessing the impact I had on client’s lives, I discovered a passion for transcending customer expectations with exceptional service. The joy from making even a small difference in their stories was unparalleled.
Moving into management, I honed my business skills and instilled exceptional service in my team. During a customer service award ceremony, where we won top honors, a recruiter from a rapidly-growing jewellery chain recognized my potential. I joined the jewellery world soon after and quickly fell in love.
After managing Canada's premier store and pioneering a Saskatchewan expansion, my true calling surfaced: custom jewelry. This passion became the catalyst for launching my custom design and jewelry concierge in 2014. Here, I apply my wealth of knowledge to turn personal stories and cherished memories into bespoke jewelry pieces, each uniquely reflective of the tale it embodies.
Kat MacLean
Jewellery Designer & Client Experience Manager
I am Kat, a Calgary-based jewellery designer with a decade of industry experience. With a keen designer's eye, I have meticulously established the foundation to provide my clients not only with exquisite creations but also pieces of exceptional quality.
Although my roots are in a small town in the heart of Alberta, my affection for Calgary is undeniable. Driven by a passion to explore diverse jewellery cultures, my global travels always lead me back to my beloved city, each journey enriching my understanding and craft.
Dedication and passion are the cornerstones of my relationship with the world of gems and jewellery. This commitment shines through not only in my craftsmanship but also in an enthusiasm to share my knowledge. Following my graduation from the Gemological Institute of America and The University of Arts, where I studied metalsmithing and jewellery design, I became a goldsmithing apprentice. Over the past decade, I’ve since flourished into a professional jewellery designer.
Beyond design, I'm a recognizable presence within the community, known for my charisma and altruistic nature.I also have a deep passion for art jewellery. My skills, enthusiasm, and integrity have endeared me to both lifelong clients and esteemed colleagues, solidifying my standing within this captivating profession.
