Mare Blu: A Summer Style Guide to Our Most Coveted Collection
Share
By Samantha Travagliante | Southern Marc Designs | Naples, FL
Some collections arrive fully formed — as if the sea itself had a hand in designing them. The Mare Blu Summer Collection is exactly that. Named for the deep, saturated blue of the Mediterranean, every piece draws from the colors, textures, and unhurried elegance of coastal living. Natural gemstones, freshwater baroque pearls, sea glass, turquoise, and 18k gold-filled findings — all handmade in Naples, FL.
This is your guide to wearing it.
The Long Game: Magens Bay Necklace
32 inches of Caribbean-inspired color.
The Magens Bay Necklace is a masterclass in layered coastal dressing. Natural gemstones, frosted sea glass, and luminous freshwater baroque pearls come together in a 32" statement piece that works equally well worn long and solo or doubled up for a shorter, more dramatic look. The organic shapes and ocean-toned palette evoke the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean — resort jewelry at its most transportive.
Wear it with: A one-shoulder swimsuit cover-up, wide-leg linen trousers, and nothing competing above the neckline.
The Transformer: Islamorada Necklace
One necklace. Three looks.
The Islamorada Necklace is built for the woman who refuses to be limited. Natural smoky quartz, Tibetan and Picasso Czech beads, and vibrant turquoise accents are finished with two interchangeable pendants — natural turquoise and freshwater pearl — so you can wear both, one, or neither depending on your mood. At 18" with 18k gold-filled findings, it's the most versatile coastal jewelry piece we've ever made.
Wear it with: A printed silk slip dress for dinner, or a simple white tee for daytime — the necklace does the work either way.
The Heirloom: Tavira Pearl Wrap Lariat
46.5 inches of effortless, timeless elegance.
The Tavira Pearl Wrap Lariat is the piece you'll pass down. Petite natural freshwater baroque pearls run the length of this 46.5" lariat, anchored at each end by striking oversized baroque pearls. Wrap it, knot it, layer it, or wear it as a classic long lariat — the styling possibilities are genuinely endless. Finished with 18k gold-filled details, each pearl is naturally unique. Only 5 available.
Wear it with: A simple slip dress in champagne or ivory. Let the pearls be the entire outfit.
The Statement Set: Sirena Necklace
The effortless layered look, already done for you.
The Sirena Necklace is a faux-wrap style that's actually two separate necklaces — designed to layer beautifully together as a set, or worn individually for two completely different looks. Vibrant turquoise-hued gemstone beads, a striking natural shell pendant, freshwater pearl accents, and 18k gold-filled details make this the boldest coastal statement in the collection.
Wear it with: A strapless maxi in white or cobalt. Stack the bracelets. Go all in.
The Wanderer: Calypso Necklace
Sun-soaked, sea-worn, and entirely one of a kind.
At 34", the Calypso Necklace is designed for effortless layering or standalone drama. Natural gemstones, seagrass elements, and freshwater pearls are handcrafted with organic textures and coastal tones that evoke sun-soaked days by the sea. Because each piece is uniquely made, no two are exactly alike — which is exactly the point.
Wear it with: A breezy linen co-ord in natural or sage, strappy sandals, and a sun hat.
The Lariat: Tavira Wrap Lariat
Blue apatite, baroque pearls, and the art of the wrap.
The Tavira Wrap Lariat brings relaxed sophistication to any summer look. Natural blue apatite gemstones, freshwater pearl accents, and elegant tassels create beautiful movement and texture across 46.5" of versatile styling. Wrap it twice for a layered look, or wear it long for evening. Finished with 18k gold-filled findings. Only 5 available.
Wear it with: A breezy linen dress for a sunset dinner, or draped over a swimsuit for a resort pool moment.
The Icon: Grande Pearl Strand
The necklace that needs no introduction.
Large natural freshwater baroque pearls, each uniquely shaped by nature and selected for luminous beauty. The Grande Pearl Strand at 34" is an heirloom-inspired piece that elevates everything — from a simple white tee to a formal gown. Finished with 18k gold-filled findings, it layers beautifully with other Mare Blu pieces or stands completely alone.
Wear it with: Anything. Seriously.
The Finishing Touch: Mare Blu Earrings
The piece that ties the whole collection together.
Luminous freshwater baroque pearls paired with natural turquoise gemstones, suspended from delicate 18k gold-filled hoops. The Mare Blu Earrings are lightweight, effortless, and designed to complement every necklace in the collection. The perfect finishing touch — or the perfect gift.
