About Marjorie Victor



Marjorie Victor combines the fluidity of organic form with the sculptural strength of metal to craft jewelry that is sophisticated and strong, yet unapologetically feminine. Hand forged and finished, each piece is uniquely textured to embody a modern aesthetic with natural precedent. Marjorie Victor's jewelry is all handmade from locally-sourced, recycled silver and gold.

Marjorie Victor has worked for over a decade in the fashion and design industries, most notably as an assistant to industrial designer Eva Zeisel. After a sculpture fellowship at the Coubertin bronze foundry in France and a jewelry apprenticeship in Philadelphia, she introduced her own collection in 2003. She holds a degree in art history and painting from Barnard College and has also trained at Sterling Quest Jewelry Design School in Mexico and at the Fred de Vos Wax Carving Workship in New York City.

Marjorie Victor Jewelry has been featured in more than 50 museum and specialty stores around the globe, including Henri Bendel (NYC), the Sundance Catalog, Milwaukee Museum of Art and Tomorrowland (Tokyo). Her work has also appeared in numerous publications, including both Elle and Lucky magazines.

Victor lives in New York City and works from her studio overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge. The kaleidoscope of fashion and art in the vibrant city she calls home provides endless inspiration for continued design exploration.

What’s especially pretty about Marjorie’s collection is the contrast between the cool, delicate, matte silver and shiny, warm, polished 14K gold fill. We are obsessed with the timeless, organic look and feel of her designs!
