Anyone familiar with Marla Aaron's jewelry?

Unfortunately, I too have suffered at her (or her legal team’s?) wrath, but it was because I sold carabiner jewelry (chains, beaded strands and the like) and made the mistake of tagging her because my stuff was compatible with her jewelry. lol

l’d be lying if I said I didn’t think her pieces are overpriced... I’m taking a break from buying from her for a while. Hopefully there won’t be another price increase if I decide to get something later on, but who knows...

That aside, there are many cheap knock-offs made of lower quality materials that are obviously trying to capitalize off her success by creating similar designs... though there are a few who weren’t/aren’t and just happen to sell carabiners, in addition to other items (Jessica Kagan Cushman comes to mind; plenty of folks copy her designs too, sadly enough).
Her prices are high. I only have two locks, one silver and one gold. One day I hope to get a gold star lock but her prices jump a lot.

There are two locks I want to grab before another potential increase. I am looking at the starlock and letter lock. I do not usually buy 14k but I can’t stop thinking about these two.

Yeah, I want a letter lock too! Silpada has a silver version at a MUCH better price... I’m wondering if itll be enough to keep me from buying Marla’s gold one.

Well, I ended up spending way too much time this weekend looking at Marla Aaron pieces on Instagram and ended up ordering a biker chain in blackened silver. I have some lock dupes to wear with it. If I end up liking the look, I will probably be forced to upgrade the locks to the real stuff! It doesn’t bode well for my wallet!
 
bought a random carabiner off etsy just to test if i’d like it or use it, if it works out i’m thinking about the sterling “fly me to the moon” lock or the yellow gold baby lock—would love to see pics if anyone has one, especially the moon lock!!
I love her and her locks! The moon lock is beautiful! Here is my MA this morning. I have a few of her locks, “S” (my name is Sunny too!), starlock, baby lock, and chubby baby (pictured), hanging from my chubby baby are two itty bitty hearts with my sons’ initials on the backs.
