Discover the New Comet Collection Designs

The Comet designs speak to those special nights when the meteors light up the sky as they shoot through the atmosphere. Starting as icy rocks and then, burning - these designs have been made in your choice of lapis or blue sapphire and madeira garnets or orange sapphires.

About The Designer

Martha's jewelry celebrates the stars above in silver, gold and colorful and sparkling precious gemstones and diamonds.

Virtual Jewelry Stargazing Session

Just as astronomers use telescopes to explore distant galaxies, join Martha for an intimate Virtual Jewelry Stargazing Session where you'll discover the cosmic beauty of her constellation-inspired collections through your screen.

During this exclusive 30-minute experience, Martha will be your personal guide through the universe of her designs, bringing each piece close to the camera so you can witness the mesmerizing play of light through vibrant sapphires, the intricate metalwork that echoes celestial formations, and the way her pieces capture the very essence of nebulae and star clusters.

Joy, Personal Expression, and Identity: The Emotional Power of Jewelry

Joy, Personal Expression, and Identity: The Emotional Power of Jewelry

Jewelry is never just about adornment. At its heart, it’s about how it makes you feel, what it says about you, and the connection it creates between your inner self and how you present to the world. This emotional dimension of jewelry has always been central to my design philosophy at Martha Seely Design.

Feeling Like a Star

“If you’re wearing a star, you feel good about yourself.”

This simple statement encapsulates one of my core beliefs about jewelry. The pieces we choose to wear have the power to transform how we feel. When I design a new piece, I’m thinking not just about its visual appeal but about the emotional experience of wearing it.

The celestial inspiration behind my collections connects directly to this feeling of specialness. Stars have always represented something aspirational and magical in human culture. By creating jewelry that captures this cosmic wonder, I aim to bring that feeling of magic into everyday life.

As I’ve often expressed, “Every woman (person) should feel like a star.” For me, this isn’t just a catchy phrase. It’s the emotional foundation of every design I create.

Personal Connection in a Digital World

In an increasingly digital world, there’s something profoundly meaningful about the physical connection we have with jewelry. Unlike many other possessions, jewelry touches our skin, moves with our bodies, and stays with us throughout our day.

This intimate physical relationship creates a unique bond between the wearer and the piece. When that piece also carries meaning—whether through its celestial symbolism, its gemstone properties, or simply the memories attached to when and why you acquired it—it becomes more than an accessory. It becomes part of your personal narrative.

A Personal Statement on Color

Color is an important part of my design because of the joy color raises in you. It helps make you feel pretty. It makes you feel special. It shows who you are to people. It shows your taste.

The vibrant gemstones in my collections are selected to make statements on beauty and individual expression. The multi-colored sapphires in my Constellation Collection, for instance, are there because they capture the extraordinary palette revealed in telescope images—and because color itself is a source of happiness.

Showing Who You Are

Jewelry has always been a form of personal expression, a way to signal something about yourself to the world. Like other art forms, it’s deeply subjective. This individuality is what makes jewelry so powerful. Each piece resonates differently with different people. The Eclipse ring might speak deeply to you while the Starburst earrings might be exactly what your best friend has been searching for to express their personality.

Luxury and beauty aren’t defined by traditional expectations. It doesn’t have to be diamonds; it doesn’t have to be rubies; but it has to be about personal style. The value lies in the design, the craftsmanship, and most importantly, how it makes you feel when you wear it.

Everyday Luxury vs. Special Occasion Pieces

One aspect of my design philosophy that’s particularly important to me is creating pieces that become part of your daily identity, not just special occasion accessories. My jewelry is designed to be worn for many occasions, not to be left in a safe and only rarely worn.

The versatility of my pieces is intentional. I want the joy and self-expression of wearing beautiful jewelry to be part of your everyday experience. The Constellation Collection, for example, allows you to wear clusters of gemstones that could go with all your different outfits and styles

There is a balance between luxury and wearability:  beauty should be lived with, not locked away. The pleasure that comes from wearing a piece you love shouldn’t be reserved only for rare moments.

The Healing Power of Joy

There’s a deeper layer to the joy I aim to create through my designs. During challenging times, creating the Constellation Collection became my own emotional sanctuary. I really needed the color. Thus, the Constellation Collection was exactly what my soul needed to find joy and I believe it can do the same for you.

My commitment to creating pieces that bring positive energy, and happiness is reinforced with this collection. By wearing jewelry that makes you feel good, you carry this positive energy with you throughout your day. It’s a small but meaningful way to nurture your emotional wellbeing and express your authentic self.

Your Unique Expression

Each Martha Seely Design piece is created with the intention of becoming part of your personal expression. Whether you’re drawn to the dynamic energy of Starburst, the transitional beauty of Blue Hour, or the wishing potential of Comets, I hope you find pieces that resonate with your unique identity and bring joy to your everyday life.

I believe everyone deserves to feel special, to experience beauty, and to express their individuality. In the words that guide my work: Every person should feel like a star.
