In 1991, designer Marcia Maizel-Clarke recognized the need for jewelry that speaks, and created the original word jewelry and charms. Coupled with a desire to send good energy into the world through personal and positive gifts, Dogeared gave birth to a family of products that capture the magic of words, symbols, wishes and dreams.

The response to Dogeared’s word jewels, and the success of the Make A Wish series of silk thread necklaces, opened the door to a family of best selling-products inspired by the hip, casual and unique California lifestyle. And the magic continues to spread. Dogeared is regularly featured in fashion, lifestyle, and celebrity publications; in such films as Elizabethtown and Monster-in-Law, and hit television shows, including The OC, Will & Grace, Grey's Anatomy, CSI: Miami, and Desperate Housewives.
