Designer Spotlight: Marcia Moran




Marcia Moran creates bold styles with a sexy edge. Born, raised and educated in Brazil, she became a dentist in the early 90's but her desire was always to work with fashion and Jewelry. In 2003, she moved to Los Angeles and decided to make her dream come true. 

Working with different Brazilian designers she began to show her creativity, innovation and talent. As her company and the demand for new creative designs grew, Marcia decided to make her line more unique, by designing some pieces for her new collection. 

Marcia's eye-catching, contemporary jewelry is made of either brushed 18kt gold- or rhodium-plated metals, and beautiful semi-precious stones. Using the spectacular resources of Brazil Marcia designs for fashionable women who enjoy extraordinary pieces, Marcia's Jewelry helps women look fabulous, but not fancy...feel rich, yet reasonable... dress spectacularly, yet still simple.
