Meet the Founder

Born and raised in Georgia and shaped by a few years in Tennessee, Kaitlynn always knew her heart belonged by the sea. Now rooted on the Gulf Coast, she built Mare & Oro as an expression of everything she loves — sunlight, intention, and effortless beauty.

With a love for timeless style and laid-back luxury, Kaitlynn set out to curate a collection that feels like her: strong, feminine, and made to shine. The result? A selection of swim-proof jewelry and minimalist swimwear made to move with you — whether you’re chasing sunsets or saltwater.

“You were never made to blend in — and neither was your jewelry.”
This brand is for the golden girls who stand out — and stay shining.

Never stop shining,

Kaitlynn
