Our Story

About Meri Lou Jewelry

Meri Lou Jewelry is a fine jewelry brand born between New York and Istanbul, where timeless design meets emotional storytelling. Every piece is crafted with intention celebrating heritage, femininity, and quiet strength through the lens of quiet luxury.

At the core of the brand is our Self Lou philosophy: a celebration of inner transformation and outward self-expression. Through the joyful enamel colors of the Lettery Lou collection and the sculptural elegance of the Cactus Collection, Meri Lou invites you to wear your dreams, root your resilience, and shine with quiet power.

Inspired by French artistry, natural beauty, and symbolic depth, our collections are designed to elevate daily adornment into meaningful rituals. We use only ethically sourced natural diamonds and solid gold, and each piece is handcrafted in small batches with care and purpose.

Meri Lou Jewelry is more than a jewelry, it’s a personal statement, a lasting heirloom, and a celebration of who you are becoming.

Sustainable Craftsmanship

At Meri Lou Jewelry, sustainability and integrity guide every step of our process. We use responsibly sourced gold from the Istanbul Gold Refinery certified by COMEX, LBMA, and DMCC and only natural, conflict-free diamonds with full supply chain transparency.

We avoid harmful metals like nickel and cobalt, relying exclusively on gold to ensure both safety and environmental care. Our production process minimizes waste by recycling leftover gold and crafting in small batches to reduce energy use and overproduction.

Each piece is handcrafted by a team of skilled artisans in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, blending traditional techniques with modern values. Our designs are made to last timeless heirlooms that support a “buy less, buy better” philosophy.

Sustainable packaging and ethical labor practices further reflect our commitment to responsible luxury from the first sketch to the final box.
