Background

Meredith Marks was born in Chicago on December 15, 1971, and she knew early on that the fashion industry was where her future was heading because she became immersed in it as a young child. Marks worked a few years as a model and stretched fine arts in her student years. However, it wasn’t until she enrolled at Northwestern University that she began to take her first steps toward what would later become a life of professional success. Marks graduated from Kellogg Business School with an M.B.A. and a law degree from the Northwestern University of Chicago and gained the necessary training to build her empire.

She divided her time between real estate development and maintaining her health club. Around this time, Marks also became a mother and wife. Perhaps she found the motivation for her jewelry design line in this period of inspiration and love. Unfortunately for Marks and the whole country, the recession of 2009 came precisely in the same year as her jewelry business. Still, as we can see today, no major conflict can stop this business genius. As time went by, she gained a place in the tastes of the public and the most severe specialized critics. Her creative talent and business acumen have brought her to the heights from which she shines today.

If you only know Marks through “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” we invite you to get to know the style of this jewelry artist. Have you ever imagined silver and gold combining in a jewelry collection marked by the solid and marked structures of geometry and symmetry but united through the grace and delicacy of a semi-precious stone or a precious stone? This is the aesthetic contribution that Marks has brought to the jewelry world. If you are not a millionaire, don’t worry because Marks believes that luxuries have to be part of our everyday life because they are not only beautiful. They also make us feel confident, strong, and empowered in the face of daily conflicts. Maybe if you check out her collections, you’ll find some inspiration like us.
