ABOUT MARLENA

"Pearls set people free."

The form, the color, the brilliance—each one possesses a unique presence, unlike any other.

Because it was naturally guided.

When you stop comparing yourself to others, when you stop imitating someone else,

We should definitely be able to live more freely.

Listen to the voice of nature and free your mind.

The power of genuine pearls, gifted to those who walk their own path with style and authenticity.

 

Since pearls are the star of the show, I drew my inspiration from the sea. Having lived in LA and Hawaii, the ocean was always close by. I designed this piece as if I were painting a picture while gazing out at the vast sea before me. When I was in my twenties, I used to wear cotton pearls, but as I entered my thirties, fake jewelry started to feel less fitting—it just began to look cheap.

Fashion-wise, living in a climate where people often wear light shirts or T-shirts, pairing those outfits with genuine jewelry helps avoid any mismatch with age. This time, I wanted to suggest the joy of casually wearing real pearls to women in their 30s and beyond.

MARLENA's pearls are of exceptionally high quality, thanks to years of expert craftsmanship. That's why pairing them with silver instead of gold allows the natural beauty of the pearls to truly shine. For our generation, who no longer need to push ourselves too hard or pretend to be something we're not, the balance of fine pearls with silver feels just right. The earrings don't even have to match perfectly on both ears. To allow for asymmetrical styling with different designs on each ear, they are sold individually.

Real pearls each have their own unique character, which makes you really grow attached to them. I’d be happy if you enjoy pearls freely and in your own way—like swapping out one earring, or gradually adding necklaces and rings to your collection.
