Stringing pearls was the first job Marida had taken up in her family's fine jewelry business during her teen years. Venturing off to explore her passion at UCLA, she'd come back every weekend to work with her parent's business. A few years after trying to find herself in Los Angeles, she realized that what she was made to do was right in front of her all this time. One Graduate Gemology degree later at the Gemological Institution of America, a collection of high-end fashion jewelry was created.

Behind each Marida Jewelry design is a story of inspiration by world cultures, art, and nature. Marida combines various materials, such as silver, silk, gems, 14K gold-filled, wood, and other elements, to create luxe, hand-crafted jewelry that adds vibrancy and personal touches to any outfit.
