About

Hi, I’m Marly, the founder of SPLYNTRE.

I spent years in the traditional diamond industry. I learned a lot and loved the work, but I wanted to build a diamond house for the women I see around me every day:

the hustlers, the chefs, the photographers, the artists, the brokers, the world-builders, the corporate girlies, the moms, the business owners, the women starting over. The badasses. Plenty of them are three of those before lunch.

I LOVED diamonds, but I was SO BORED of everything they were supposed to mean. Someone else was meant to buy them for you, and there had to be a special occasion. An engagement, an anniversary, a birthday with a zero at the end.

BABE, YOU’RE THE OCCASION! Every day we get to be alive is an occasion!!!!

(Yes, this is how I justify my purchases. I’ve yet to lose an argument with myself)

I wanted to make pieces with as much edge as the women wearing them. Pieces you’d buy for yourself and wear with whatever you want. I wear mine with a vintage Rolling Stones tour tee and upcycled Levi’s.

Our diamonds are made of carbon, just like mined diamonds. But ours are grown in a lab, and we’re freaking proud of that. No gigantic hole in the earth required. Hence our medicine-themed packaging. We ran with the lab thing.

I’ve always been obsessed with zigzags, from Missoni prints to those scissors that cut everything into little teeth and frankly, if every diamond had to sit in a neat little row, things would get utterly boring. And so beige. Nobody’s life goes in a straight line. Why should your diamonds?

SO here’s to the awkward bits. The wrong turns. The times you felt like shit and kept going anyway. You get a little stronger. You get a little sharper. That’s the edge I want you to feel when you put on SPLYNTRE.
