Our Story
The ocean is my muse and caring for it is my passion.
Sea-inspired jewelry, this sculpture in miniature form, is my offering.
Morgan Patricia Designs is the creation of Long Beach, CA based jewelry artisan, Carlie Ring. Her organic line of handcrafted jewelry is endlessly inspired by memories of growing up on the sunny beaches of New Jersey and South Florida, discovering cliffside beaches and caves along the California coastline, treasured trips to the Hawaiian Islands, and dreams of faraway tropical lands. She believes that personal style is truly an expression of your imagination, with hers stemming from having spent the better part of her childhood exploring the shoreline and swimming in the surf in search of magical treasures; gifts from the sea.
Carlie’s tiny wearable sculptures escape reality and float in an ethereal world of seashells, sharks, and mermaids. Intricate details and effortless wearability embody the timeless silhouettes that make up the collection of 14k gold, fossilized sea life, and a rainbow assortment of opals and gemstones with a splash of diamonds. These natural elements are designed with an intimate connection to the sea, and intended to spread the joy of a rainbow, warm (miniature) hugs, and wearable sparks of sunshine. She believes in designing jewelry you can live in; small sculpted pieces of paradise to be loved, and meant for any occasion.
Morgan Patricia Designs exudes timeless luxury with a focus on one of a kind pieces and delicate staples for all people, both young and young at heart alike. The line is created with a little bit of sunshine and ocean vibes, through the lost wax casting method using recycled metals and a combination of natural, raw, and polished gemstones in Long Beach, CA. You can read more about our brand values and responsible gemstone sourcing on the Store Policies page.
In her spare time, you can find Carlie on, in, or near the water … her source for tropical serenity. Together with her husband Bob and their ever smiley dogs, Moh and Ruby Noodle, the Rings are always up for adventure whether it’s traveling to National Parks or enjoying the local dog beach in town with friends.
