Meet Maggie Sea, Karmila Darling

Maggie is an independent jewelry designer and maker based in Chicago, creating meaningful, wearable art. She began her journey in jewelry design in 2024, following four years of experience as an industrial designer.

Karmila Darling, named after her late grandmother, is inspired by the warmth, freedom, and playfulness of girlhood. Maggie designs each piece from start to finish, blending modern 3D tools with traditional handcrafting techniques.

"Liz has been one of the most grounding forces in my journey as a young brand. Our one-on-ones are where I’ve found real clarity — her extensive industry experience lets her see far beyond my immediate worries, and her perspective is always both assuring and practical. The Stay Gold Collective is also a goldmine of genuinely useful resources (trunk shows, vendor recommendations, things you’d never know to look for). I feel really supported working with her."
