Dogeared is a trendsetting fashion brand that creates handcrafted jewels and gifts in Culver City, California. Dogeared is committed to bringing positive energy into the world one jewel at a time, while maintaining awareness of the environment around them.
History
Dogeared Jewels & Gifts was founded in 1991, in Venice, California, by Marcia Maizel-Clarke. "As a buyer, she built a successful career on her expertise in fashion merchandising and retail strategy, along with her natural creative abilities as a designer." The response to her early designs and the success of her Make a Wish series of necklaces gave birth to the sucessful organization Dogeared has become today. What once started as a hobby later evolved into Marcia's works being sold at seven Macy’s stores and at the Rose Bowl Swap Meets. Dogeared Jewels & Gifts has grown from a small Venice Beach design studio to a southern California creative haven, where positive ideologies and values are mixed for the overall satisfaction of Dogeared's customers. Marcia continues to build the success of the organization with her husband and creative director Merlin Clarke.
