Meet the Founder

A woman with long dark hair wearing a white blouse, standing outdoors on a city street with buildings and trees in the background.

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.

A Brand. A Movement. A Love Letter.

A hand wearing multiple gold rings and bracelets is submerged in water, dripping with water droplets and holding gold chains.

Born on the Gulf Coast and built with intention, Mare & Oro is a love letter to soft luxury and everyday freedom.
We believe jewelry should live in the sea, not fear it — and that you should always feel like your sunlit, powerful self.
