about marlin fine jewelry

Hannah Marlin-Oslyn founded Marlin Fine Jewelry in 2021 with a conviction that her jewelry could do more than adorn- it could carry. Carry memory, love, joy- the emotions, the moments, and the loved ones that shape our lives.

From her private studio in Carlsbad, California, Hannah works at the intersection of traditional craft and deeply personal storytelling. A three-time graduate of the Gemological Institute of America, Hannah brings both formal expertise and instinctive artistry to every piece. Her work draws on a rich lineage of wearable remembrance, tracing back to Victorian mourning jewelry and beyond, a tradition she honors and reinterprets for the modern day. Melding traditional and modern techniques, Hannah carefully incorporates sentimental materials like ashes, fur, and hair alongside fine metals and stones, ensuring each creation remains a lasting personal tribute.

While memorial jewelry has become a cherished specialty, Hannah's work extends beyond remembrance- celebrating all of life’s milestones. From engagement rings to heirloom-inspired keepsakes, each piece is thoughtfully designed to hold memories that last a lifetime.

Marlin is a husband and wife team. While Hannah pours herself into the creative side of Marlin, her husband and high school sweetheart Justin works to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

At Marlin Fine Jewelry, jewelry isn't just something you wear- it's a connection to your most treasured experiences. With authenticity, artistry, and intention woven into every design, Hannah invites you to carry your stories with you.
