Modern Handmade Jewelry from Marjorie Baer
For over 45 years, Marjorie Baer has been designing modern, sculptural jewelry that appeals to a wide range of women. Each piece is hand-made in the San Francisco Bay Area from quality materials with craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Marjorie designs each piece by hand for wearability, comfort, and an eye for how it will interact with the body. She finds inspiration in the forms of the natural world, in the details of African and Asian Art, and in the sculptural balance of modern art and architecture. Her designs blend these elements into a modern and unique aesthetic that's perfect for contemporary women.

In deep gold tones, bright polished silver, and rich oxidized metals, Marjorie Baer jewelry has a unique look. Her designs are elegant, architectural, bold, and distinctive with easy balance, dramatic movement, and light-weight layers. She has become known over the years for her eye for mixed metals. She also uses a variety of hammering techniques to manipulate the metal into different forms and to add unique texture. Each piece is comfortable, versatile, and order made to enhance the style of the wearer.

All Marjorie Baer jewelry is made sustainably and ethically in our South San Francisco studio. Marjorie works with a small group of innovative and skilled craftsmen to ensure the quality and wearability of each piece. Every item is constructed and assembled by hand with great care and attention to detail.
