Britt’s Pick: Marli’s Tip-Top Glow Bracelet

Share

Summer as we know it is coming to an end, but that’s no reason to abandon color. Marli’s Tip-Top Glow bracelet takes inspiration from the colorful glow of summer, but its fine-jewelry construction makes it anything but a seasonal piece—giving retailers another reason to embrace color as they head into fall.

While a rainbow of color is undeniably associated with summer, this is by no means a “buy for your next beach vacation” piece. Rather, it’s a form of self-expression, something consumers are increasingly seeking in their jewelry. The argument for color year-round is an easy one to make here: The bracelet’s hues would work beautifully with the camel, ivory, navy, and forest-green tones of fall, while its diamond-heavy design would catch the light at holiday parties.

Part of Marli’s four-piece Tip-Top Glow collection—which also includes a ring, necklace, and hoop earrings—the bracelet carries the brand’s recognizable pyramid-shaped gemstone motif, a graphic, architectural silhouette that gives it a distinctive point of view in the crowded tennis-bracelet category.

The collection offers a colorful take on one of Marli’s signature designs. The original Tip-Top collection, which debuted in 2022, reinterpreted the traditional tennis bracelet through the brand’s geometric lens. Tip-Top Glow pushes that idea further, this time using a rainbow of gemstones to bring color into the equation. While one might assume enamel was used to achieve such a vibrant palette—it has become an increasingly popular way to introduce color into fine jewelry—Marli instead went all-in on gemstones, using pink quartz, blue chalcedony, red agate, and yellow quartz throughout the collection, giving it even more fine jewelry cred.

So, by all means, stock the collection for these final days of summer. But consider its bigger retail opportunity, too: Color doesn’t have an expiration date.
