Gliding into Marty’s ocean collection is her new one of a kind, 18k gold Manta Ray Pendant.  A stunning  8 carat Australian Crystal Opal is the inspiration for this elegant design. The translucent opal shimmers with iridescent blue and green and three brilliant diamonds are tube set in the curve of the tail, invoking of bubbles rising to the surface.

Bronze Throne Dragon Ear Wrap

I am proud to introduce my new Throne Dragon Ear Wrap, inspired by my customers who are fans of the Game of Thrones.  It’s been several years since I’ve added a dragon ear piece to my line, partially because conceiving and designing a uniquely fresh dragon ear wrap is very challenging but also because I have been discouraged by all the counterfeit copies of my designs appearing for sale on the internet.

Thank you for supporting original art and declining to buy counterfeit designs in any format.

The internet is both a blessing and a curse to artists who create original work because once a new design is “published” the piece is vulnerable to plagiarism.

Drum rolls again for my talented daughter, Alisha.  We proudly introduce her newly hatched Leopard Gecko Charm.  This is only her fifth design (as a professional jeweler)  but each of her 5 creations shows a marked development.  I will have to step up my game if I am to retain title as the master designer of Marty Magic Jewelry.

Leopard Gecko Charm

Although Alisha and I work together almost daily, most of our time is spent handling the business of being in business.  Our most cherished times are those spent together, elbow to elbow at our work station creating designs that come from our hearts.

Alisha and Marty Designing Together

Aside from a cat and a dog,  Alisha’s first pets were two Leopard Geckos.  She loved and  nurtured “Hortense and Mergatroid” and like her mother celebrates the scaly inhabitants of our planet.

I’m often asked about graduation gift suggestions.

We gave our son, John this gold owl ring when he graduated from Santa Cruz High.  Two years later he still proudly wears this ring on his pointer finger.  The Owl is a symbol of wisdom and this ring is available in both gold ($2395) and sterling silver ($145)

A customer recently e-mailed me to tell me that she received a sterling silver  Magic Lamp charm for her 8th grade graduation and still wears it 15 years later.  She is saving her 3 wishes for a rainy day.

Swimming in from left stage is Marty’s endearing Cowfish Charm and splashing in from stage right is Alisha’s whimsical Goldfish Charm. These fishy charms join their new friends and add personality to our growing Octopus Garden Charm Collection.

This circle of Fishy Friends is presented here on a charm bracelet but each of the characters can be purchased separately and added to your at home aquarium.  Complicated filtration systems are not needed and your charm will shine on for generations with no more care than an occasional rub of Mrs. Wrights  silver cream.  (Please note that liquid silver dips are toxic to these fish and all of Marty’s sterling silver pieces.)
