Although there have been many jewelers who cite industrial influences, Marla Aaron locked down the look with her first design directly cast from a hardware store carabiner Unless you have been living where there is no internet, phone, or mode of communication with the outside world, you will have heard of Marla Aaron and her original take on the her ever expanding utilitarian objects that she transforms into versatile and multi-functional jewelry items As her designs grew, so did my collection of them- including the engraved lock which allows me to interchange different charms and dangle everything from Georgian and early Victorian pieces to those by current designers.
Since Marla first engineered these beauties that work in numerous ways, such as hooking together to create different links for necklaces and stations in between chain, in addition to the aforementioned 'locking on' on of charms and pendants, Marla seems to never run out of ideas for new locks Her most recent collection which launched on September 15th and can be seen on her website is a testament to how her initial idea lead to a complete evolution of functional and useful designs for jewelry that are also fun to wear and reveal that there is no end to the creativity of Marla's anything-goes innovations In addition to the Trundle Rings that turn into locks, Marla also introduced Pully designs with gemstones that swivel and roll to make a necklace shorter or longer or to hang on the side or the center, to create a very specific look of utilitarian elegance.
"The beauty of all of the designs is in their utility and how they change once each women makes the locks their own and wears them in their own very unique ways." Marla concludes. . Source
