Marie Myers is the Creator of Marie Bruns Jewelry (Started in 2002)
In 2009 Marie took a sabbatical from her full-time VP of Finance and Controller/CFO to go back to school for her Masters Degree in Business. As a class assignment, she wrote a business plan to revive her jewelry line with a new business model to reflect the changed state of the economy and a new appreciation for what customers want in 2012. The Marie Bruns jewelry line was born. Composed of high quality pieces at affordable prices, the collection revolves around pieces that can be layered and easily mixed and matched to offer more style options. Determined to succeed with this concept, Marie coined the idea of creating a “jewelry wardrobe”. In the past women focused on one or two statement pieces, now they look to buy a variety of up to date items that will make their current wardrobe more stylish incorporating new trends through jewelry.
Marie creates pieces for women like herself: multi-taskers with their own career, interests, and family. These are women of substance who take pride in the way they look. Strong, successful women, that have it all including Tina Fey, Nicole Kidman, and Jennifer Lopez, personify the “Marie Bruns Woman”.
Excited about her variety of stones and use of color in her designs Marie says, “Personally I love color. I love the look of large gemstones. Aquamarine, Peruvian Amazonite, and Turquoise are a few of my favorites. And pearls…. I can never let go of pearls. I adore the deep dark hues of the Black Tahitians to the lustrous creamy colors of the South Sea Pearls from Australia.”
In 2011 Marie decided she wanted to give back to those in need through her designing. She created the Marie Bruns Breast Cancer Collection of four pieces from $25-295. 50% of all proceeds from this collection go to The Breast Center at Willowbrook Hospital www.methodisthealth.com.
Marie crafts unique pieces from classic to funky that reflect her extensive travels and fashion sensibilities. Complete with “walk-off-the-runway” to Bohemian styles, the Marie Bruns Collection will add glamour and excitement to any wardrobe.
