Every Marisa Perry piece is made in New York City by a team of master craftsmen and women, using only the finest materials with the utmost care. The brand has long been recognized as a stamp of superiority, never compromising on the quality and standards they are known for.   Passionate about service and the personal touch, the entire team at Marisa Perry strives to go above and beyond, working closely with each client to tailor their experience, put the client's needs above all else, and ensure the most outstanding product at the very best value.  

The company is headed up by Marisa Perry, co-founder and co-owner, alongside designer Douglas Elliott. French-American Marisa was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to New York City to pursue a career in fashion after graduating from L.A.'s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. As is so common in New York City, the lines between fashion and food blurred, and Marisa moved on to lead a successful career in gourmet food importing and marketing, working with top chefs and artisanal food producers worldwide.   Marisa met Douglas Elliott in 2001 and fell head over heels in love with the beauty of his designs, particularly his attention to detail, meticulous lines, and relentless finesse.  Marisa saw an opportunity to create a new venture bringing Douglas' exquisite diamond jewelry designs to the forefront. With a passion to re-invent the experience of luxury shopping, Marisa resolved to dissolve the stuffiness of 5th ave stores, and create an extension of ‘home’ - a warm and welcoming environment and a local neighborhood experience - but still offering 5th avenue quality products.

Douglas Elliott is a born and raised New Yorker with over 40 years of experience in the jewelry industry. When the two met in 2001, Douglas was designing a fashion-driven, semi-precious jewelry collection, Elliott, which was sold at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, and privately owned jewelry stores nationwide. As well as his popular fashion line, Douglas maintained a custom fine jewelry design business for private clients, for whom he created elaborate and ornate diamond pieces and diamond engagement rings. It was this top tier fine jewelry that they decided to focus on, and create a fusion of art and commerce, while re-writing the standards of “sales culture”, creating a dynamic, unified, “in it together” company culture.
