Our Story

A JEWELRY BRAND ROOTED IN MEANING

Hi, I’m Alicia, the founder of Marian Grace Designs.

Marian and Grace are my daughters’ middle names. They are names that carry deep meaning for me and remind me of the journey that brought our family together. After years of infertility, IVF, and adoption, I came to understand something that has shaped both my life and this business: the moments that define us are often the ones we never planned.

Those experiences changed the way I see the world. They taught me to pay attention to the quiet markers of life and the moments of hope, resilience, love, and becoming that shape who we are.

Marian Grace Designs was born from that understanding.

STORIES PRESSED IN TIME

The inspiration for my jewelry began when I discovered antique wax seal stamps which are small works of art once used to seal letters and mark something as personal, intentional, and true.

For centuries, wax seals carried meaning. A symbol pressed into wax became a signature of identity, love, belief, or family.

When I began creating jewelry from these antique seals and symbolic imagery, I realized they held the same power today.

A pendant could become more than something beautiful.

It could become a reminder.
A marker of a season.
A symbol of strength, hope, love, or transformation.

Something worn close to the heart not just as jewelry, but as a reflection of the life being lived.

JEWELRY THAT CARRIES A STORY

Today, Marian Grace Designs brings together antique wax seal inspiration and thoughtful artist editions to create meaningful jewelry designed to be worn through life’s seasons.

Many women choose these pieces for themselves—as a quiet reminder of where they’ve been, what they’ve overcome, or who they are becoming.

Others give them as gifts to mark moments that matter.

Over time, these pieces begin to hold more than meaning.
They begin to hold stories.

And one day, they may become something even more—a small piece of your story that your family can hold in their hands.

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

Every piece of Marian Grace jewelry begins with meaning.

From carefully selecting antique wax seal imagery to collaborating with artists to create new symbolic designs, each pendant is created with intention and care.

This isn’t jewelry designed for a season.

It’s jewelry designed to be worn through the seasons of life—growing more meaningful with time, and becoming part of the story you carry forward.
