La Contessa Jewelry
Mary Demarco spent time traveling and studying in Italy, and eventually decided to trade under the name "La Contessa," or "the countess." Mary formed her jewelry studio, DeMarco-Wolfe Limited, in 1986 with her husband, William Wolfe, in Baltimore, Maryland. Mary Demarco also spent nearly 20 years
Specializing in handmade jewelry, Mary's adventurous new designs helps create stunningly beautiful tableware, watches, pens, judaica, and many other gifts items in addition to her unique jewelry pieces. Mary uses a variety of semiprecious stones and combinations of metals in her jewelry designs, each handcrafted piece reflecting the shapes and colors of nature.
"Whether painting a picture or designing a necklace, the principle is the same," explains Mary. "You are creating from a specific stimulation. And with jewelry it has to be something special and exciting; my inspiration is nature: animals, leaves, shapes and colors." - Mary Demarco
