SHOP COLLECTIONS
Whether crabs or barnacles, bones or shells, each MARAGILD collection is shaped by the form of the creatures within it, from defense mechanisms to environmental pressures. Even within the same collection, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Browse by collection to find the talisman that was meant for you.
THE KARINA COLLECTION
Crabs rely on a hardened exoskeleton to protect their vulnerable vital organs within. Their claws function as tools, capable of grasping, cutting, and defending their territory.
The Karina Collection gathers these talismans of agency—crab claws and carapaces—to serve as a reminder that strength and tenderness can coexist in the same body.
THE BRINELLE COLLECTION
Barnacles survive through permanent attachment. After a brief free-swimming stage, they cement themselves to a chosen surface using one of the strongest natural adhesives, thickening their shells to withstand constant impact and exposure.
The Brinelle Collection gathers these talismans of tenacity to serve as a reminder that commitment itself can be a form of endurance.
THE AURELIA COLLECTION
Sea urchins are protected by a rigid exoskeleton known as a test, originally armored with spines that deter contact. Even after the spines are lost, the spherical test remains intact, its radial symmetry distributing pressure evenly across the surface.
The Aurelia Collection gathers these talismans of latent defense—sea urchin tests shaped by compression and symmetry—to serve as a reminder that strength can remain embedded in structure, even after its sharpest edges are gone.
THE CORA COLLECTION
In the Gulf of Mexico’s warm coastal waters, coral depends on light, water clarity, and nutrient balance for survival. Over time, these living colonies create delicate frameworks that shelter and sustain the surrounding ecosystem.
The Cora Collection gathers these branching fragments, each serving as a reminder that the strongest constructions rely on the power of the collective.
THE NERINA COLLECTION
In shelled marine creatures, texture develops as a response to friction. Clams and whelks evolve to form knobs, ridges, and ribs that disperse pressure and stabilize against current and shifting sand. These grooves are not decorative; they are structural adaptations, shaped by contact and environment.
The Nerina Collection gathers these talismans of responsive reinforcement—ridged spirals formed through resistance—to remind us that storms do not define us. They reveal how we’re born to adapt.
THE MARINA COLLECTION
Oysters and mussels are filter feeders, surviving through the act of taking in water and extracting nourishment. If threatened, they seal their shells. When intrusion occurs, such as sand or grit, oysters respond by coating the irritant in nacre, transforming abrasion into beauty.
The Marina Collection gathers these talismans of discernment—oyster and mussel shells shaped by filtration and layered growth—to serve as a reminder that strength can lie in whether (and how) we choose to respond.
