About Marie & Oakley

Hi, I’m Tracy Marie — jewelry maker, watercolor artist, coastal home enthusiast and the founder of Marie & Oakley.

After years of dreaming, creating on the side and dipping my toes into the world of handmade jewelry, I finally made the leap. A recent move to Wilmington, North Carolina — a place that feels like the perfect blend of creativity, coast and calm — gave me the space (and nudge) to dive fully into developing Marie & Oakley.

Marie & Oakley is more than just a jewelry boutique. It’s my creative studio — a coastal-inspired brand where I get to share all the things I love: ocean-hued gemstones, breezy watercolor paintings, meaningful pieces for your home and the occasional sea-salted recipe straight from our kitchen.

Everything I create is influenced by the rhythm of the tides, the colors of the Carolina coast and the joy of slowing down and savoring the everyday. Whether it's a handmade necklace wrapped in 14k gold-filled wire or a soft watercolor of a favorite shorebird, my hope is that each piece carries a bit of the coast — and a bit of my heart — to you.

Named after my husband’s and my middle names, Marie & Oakley is a reminder that dreams take shape when we have the courage to start — and the people beside us who cheer us on.

Thanks for being here. I hope you find something that speaks to you — and I’d love to see how you bring it into your world. Tag your favorites with #MarieAndOakley.

Much Love From the Coast,

~ Tracy Marie
